Thank you, hon Chairperson and hon Deputy President, we appreciate your frankness and we know you as an honest man in many things, also in the answer you gave us this afternoon regarding the issue of the buying of votes.
What would your position be in terms of the current situation which transpired in the Northern Cape, where by-elections are taking place today. Not more than a week ago, the department of social services actually closed offices. Officials of those departments were instructed to specifically go and canvass for the ANC, including by way of handing out food parcels.
