On the issue of Madam Majiet, I will be happy if hon Doman can present a report. The roles are reversed. The executive now requests a report from the legislatures and this led to the conditions that necessitated the DA acting in the manner it has acted. Up until we engage on those questions, this matter will remain on the table for a long time to come.
I think it is better that we engage on it, and I think we have a very good relationship. We can find each other. We will report to Parliament once we have done that, particularly the National Assembly. [Interjections.]
Having said that, as regards the issues that you are raising of the blurred roles and responsibilities, you find that the intra and interparty conflicts that, at times, tend to undermine the integrity and the standing of the institution of local government we a challenge. We are going to be engaging, once we finalise the turnaround strategy. We want to engage with parties to talk about the governance values, what are the dos and the don'ts in the way we run municipalities so that the wrong tendencies and ways of doing things can be rejected in our system, not only by political parties but by South Africans as a whole. That is what we want to do. In that respect, we think that we are on the same page. We are singing from the same hymn book, in relation to these issues.
That is why I was saying earlier on that it is amazing that the gap between that other side of the House and this side has narrowed. We are speaking almost the same language, and I think we must continue. It means that you are good learners ... [Laughter.] [Interjections.] ... you learn about the issues of rising above petty politics. Thank you very much, Chair. [Laughter.]
