Somlomo, siyamamkela uMongameli ekubuyeni kwakhe eZimbabwe. Besisicinga ukuba uMongameli ebebalekiswa lolu bhukuqo-mbuso beluzanywa apha yiCope kule veki iphelileyo. [Kwahlekwa.] Kodwa ke amajoni akhe amkhusele apha kule veki iphelileyo. [Kwahlekwa.] (Translation of isiXhosa paragraph follows.)
[Mr B H HOLOMISA: Hon Speaker, we welcome back the hon President from his visit to Zimbabwe. We thought that the hon President was running away from the attempted coup by members of Cope last week. [Laughter.] However, his soldiers protected him. [Laughter.]]
