Hon Deputy Speaker, we call on the President and his government to prevail in the so-called nationalisation of mines. We know, as everyone else does, that this call is not an innocent one, but is meant to benefit a tiny, privileged group within the ruling party.
The name of former President Mandela must not be used for mischievous intentions, and the President of the Republic has a responsibility to provide leadership on these matters. Mr President, when some in the alliance attack Ministers, please prevail in this regard. We regret that this was deliberately left out of the state of the nation address.
The nation cannot afford to spend another day discussing the so-called private lives and uncontrollable desires of individuals. Thank you. [Interjections.] [Applause.]
