Mr Gololo has already answered you as far as Denel is concerned. You talk about needing drastic intervention. If you call for drastic intervention, you must still keep a cool head. Let us keep cool heads when we make statements, and say, let us review the situation. The President has just made that announcement.
Mr Greyling, I agree with you on good governance. That is what I am trying to say in my speech as well. We need that. As for the legislation for party funding, let us bring it to Parliament, and let us see who comes to the table.
Mnr Groenewald het verskoning gemaak. Hy moes ongelukkig uitgaan. Hier is 'n boekie, Renumeration Guidelines for State-owned Entities. Dit is alreeds deur die department gepubliseer. Daarin is die voorstel wat hy maak; dit is reeds in die boekie vervat.
Nou het die Minister nog verder gegaan en ges sy het nou 'n paneel aangestel om vergoeding te ondersoek. Dit is nie die VF Plus of iemand anders wat die inisiatief geneem het nie. Dis die ANC-regering wat die inisiatief geneem het! Ons het gesien daar is fout, kom ons hersien dit, kom ons stel dit ter tafel, kom ons bespreek dit.
So, ons moet nie nou hier kom en "hijacking" op 'n groot skaal doen, en s, nee, maar dit is ons idee nie. Dit is al lankal die ANC se idee wat hier ter tafel gel is. Dan wil ek net ten slotte vir mnr Mangena s ek dink hy praat die waarheid. Ek dink ons moet nou saamwerk om te doen wat in die beste belang van Suid- Afrika is.
Wat is die rol van hierdie staatsondernemings wat onder hierdie departement val? Ons moet hulle kan saamkry om die ontwikkelingsrol wat die staat in hierdie land moet speel, te ondersteun. En as ons op daardie pad gaan, en ons werk almal saam as politieke partye, Voorsitter, dan gaan ons vordering maak. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)
[Mr Groenewald apologised. Unfortunately, he had to leave. Here is a booklet entitled Remuneration Guidelines for State-owned Entities. This booklet has already been published by the department. Contained within the booklet is the suggestion he has made; it already appears in the booklet.
Now the Minister has gone even further and said that she has now appointed a panel to investigate remuneration. The ANC government took the initiative, not the FF Plus or anyone else! We saw that there was a problem, we want to solve it, we want to table it and discuss it.
We must not come here now, highjack the process and say no, it was our idea. The ANC originally came up with this idea that has now been tabled. Finally, I just want to say to Mr Mangena that I think he is speaking the truth. I think we must now work together to do what is in the best interest of South Africa.
What is the role of these state-owned enterprises that fall under this department? We have to rope them in to support the development role that the state must play in this country. And if we adopt that course and we all work together as political parties, Chairperson, then we will make progress.]
Then we will "dare to make things better". Thank you. [Applause.]
