Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I don't think that I am to be taught how to behave because she keeps on saying, "Behave, behave!" You must not heckle that way; you must talk nicely, like a lady MP. Don't say, "Behave!" Please, I am not here to be taught how to behave by you.
This is a debate and you must debate. This is an activist Parliament and you must debate as such and be robust. Please don't feel the corns badly, take it easy.
In closing, Deputy Speaker, it is the ANC's opinion that we will make the SOEs work. The President and the national executive committee has a plan on how we will deal with it. There is no major crisis. People are presenting it as a major crisis. There is no major crisis; there's a plan and you should wait until the plan is unveiled by the Presidency. We will make the SOEs work for the betterment of the majority of the people, not only the few.
I believe in slogans. I am sorry if the leader of the DA in Parliament doesn't believe in the slogan which says, "The people shall govern". The people are governing now. At the time we said that, we were led by a white minority, but today the people are governing. I believe that working together we can do more. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
Don't think that slogans are empty. If you think those slogans are empty, I strongly believe it is because you never, in your life, realised that today you'd be led by a black President. Never! You thought it would be a white minority leading forever, but working together we can do more. We will accelerate and we will make SOEs work better. I thank you. [Applause.]
