Deputy Speaker, hon member, not much has changed, since the last time you were the MEC of Safety and Security in the Western Cape. [Laughter.]
The hon member will know that, in terms of statistics, whether you are a member of the police or not, if you are engaged and involved in crime, you are recorded as such - a criminal. Perhaps a special request for just focusing on the police can be put forward, because we may want to talk about this matter to see what we can do. Thank you very much.
