Agb Van den Berg, u tyd is verstreke. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr N J VAN DEN BERG: Ask any person in South Africa what is wrong with the state entities under the Department of Communications. The answer that we will get is state intervention, and then we, the Portfolio Committee on Communications, have to scrabble to correct the ANC and the government's ideological mistakes. Everyone who is in this portfolio committee knows how we had to scrabble and work in the past year to resolve the problems in the entities of the Department of Communications because of extremely, extremely bad political decisions made in the past, not just over one or two days. This resulted in the SABC, Icasa and Sentech not getting to where they should be.
There's just one more thought that I would like to leave with you: I have a proposal for the Minister. In this assembly hall where we are today, there is a wealth of knowledge among all of the people sitting here from the cell phone companies, from Telkom. Everyone knows how to solve the problems of South Africa, because we have the expertise in South Africa to really make this happen. What should the government do? The government should show strong leadership.
