The member of Cope goes about showing literally that she does not even understand in which term of Parliament we are. We are in the first term of the Fifth Parliament, ma'am. [Laughter.] You should not be referring back to the Fourth Parliament, because that shows a lack understanding of how processes work in Parliament. You keep on saying that there is secrecy. There is no secrecy in these processes. You do not know what is going on because you are not part of this Budget Vote. You do not even know what is going on in monitoring and evaluation. You are spending your time running around talking about yourself. We don't talk about ourselves; we talk about the NDP. The reason why you are criticising the NDP is because you don't understand it. You should be an embarrassment to your own voters that they have been voting for you. [Interjections.]
We are sitting here as a majority and, as the ANC, are prepared to work with every party. That is why we are all making sure that you participate and become active, and how we make sure that the NDP is being implemented.
When hon Cardo goes about talking about the national democratic revolution, NDR, he thinks that we are shy. We are not shy, but hon Cardo does not understand the fact that you cannot overrule what the party has decided regarding the NDR, and the relationship between the state and the party.
Hon Cardo does not understand that the ANC talks about the NDR. We have been able to bring in front of you the NDP and this is what we are saying, that the NDP will be implemented through what the Ministry is putting in front of you. This is not a process of policies that are being generated outside the premises of Parliament. We have done it successfully, and under the hon Minister Jeff Radebe we will able to implement it. The assessment has been given by the hon Deputy Minister and he has outlined the direction, the areas of focus, where we will go under the leadership of the chairperson of our portfolio committee. We will go to different places where we will listen and make sure that we see where the weaknesses in the system are. This is what we will be doing, which is partly reconfiguration of this particular division.
We understand our responsibilities and we have been able to talk to those responsibilities. We understand that the Public Service needs a lot of attention; we know the weaknesses of the Department of Public Service and Administration. We will tell you that not every manager has been able to declare whatever is in their interest.
We know our responsibility because this chairperson's responsibility has been to make sure that we do know what the department has reported to us and what has been happening within the department. This is what has been done and we know that different managers don't declare. We will make follow- ups of our own on that.
We can tell the EFF that when they talk about productive forces, they don't understand what they are talking about. They are talking about departments running in silos. They don't understand; they are abusing English. But the reality is that what we are going to ... [Interjections.]
