Chairperson, hon members, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the ANC, I rise in unconditional support of this Budget Vote. Obviously, when we say "in unconditional support" it does not mean that we do not think there are challenges in this Budget Vote. It does not mean we think there are no problems in this Budget Vote, but we take the approach of Rev Zondi, which is a simple one, and that is that we are building a new democracy. To build a new democracy, you have to make resources available to pay for those things that we identify that government must provide as services to the people.
Once you've come to that conclusion, it is highly irresponsible to then actually say that you are not going to support a Budget Vote. What you are doing is saying to people of this country that, because of mistakes that may be made or because of challenges that may exist in a department, we do not think you deserve those services. That's what you are saying to the people of South Africa. [Interjections.] Not rubbish! Listen, why don't you go and talk about foreigners again? Why don't you start swearing in Parliament again? You are a disaster, man. You are an embarrassment!
