Mr Speaker, I want to thank the hon Deputy President for clarifying the position relating to members of Cabinet and Parliament. However, the issue of other politicians must be addressed, because positions are being abused. We are seeing evidence of that in the tender process and there is also growing support from various organisations, including Cosatu and nongovernmental organisations, for the DA's call for lifestyle audits to be conducted on politicians who are not Members of Parliament or Cabinet who are awarded state tenders.
Can the Deputy President please confirm whether or not these politicians will be identified and whether or not they will be subjected to the appropriate lifestyle audits and tender scrutiny processes to ensure that they are not receiving preferential treatment and/or evading the tax they are legally obligated to pay? Thank you. [Applause.]
