Well, I can see that hon Kganare has overthrown uBaba uBotha lapha [Mr Botha here] as the spokesperson on local government. [Laughter.] As regards the issue of the third force, hon Kganare, I can see that you read a lot of newspapers.
I have never ever said that protests are caused by the third force. I have been very clear that the issues are genuine. The journalist tried to ram that issue down my throat, and I refused to do that and to allow that system to be forced on me. I want to clarify this again; we believe that the issues of service delivery are genuine. Of course, there are individuals who are exploiting genuine issues of the people to take them up, which is part of the organising of individuals.
As to whether the SACP, ANC, DA or Cope is involved, I don't have information in that regard. I would ask anybody who has information to come forward and present that to me so that we are able to take it up. I have not then, hon Kganare, spoken to the SACP on the matter.
I can tell you that the Deputy Minister in the department is a member of the politburo of the SACP. He is a senior member of the SACP. Therefore, I don't think he would sabotage his own department. It is not possible. That is why I say come and present evidence, if you have, hon Kganare. We will take it and look at it on merit. Thank you very much.
