Quoting from the President's speech once more, let me say:
We also want to work with all political parties, all sectors ...
Even though you are heckling me now -
... and all our public servants to build a government that is responsive, interactive and effective.
If we work together, we shall do more to meet our mandate.
As I conclude, I must express my appreciation for the good co-operation I have had from Judges Van Zyl and Desai. I will work towards strengthening these ties and I must state that some of the issues we have raised here are as a result of the insight they provided me with in our initial interactions when I started in this position. I also thank the Deputy Minister, the chairperson of the portfolio committee and hon members of the portfolio committee.
Last, but not least, I want to thank my family for the support they have given me in the five years I was deployed as Minister in the Department of Home Affairs. I am now in the Department of Correctional Services ... [Interjections.] - I don't know which one is worse - and I still appreciate the motivation and the support that you continue to give me, particularly my two boys who are here, who have literally grown up without a mother. Thank you. [Applause.]
