Chairperson, when we debated the hon Dandala's motion of no confidence in the President of South Africa, the ACDP gave reasons why we supported the motion. To show consistency and continuity on our part, the ACDP will not be supporting Budget Vote No 1-The Presidency. [Interjections.]
Under President Zuma's leadership, state expenditure has increased substantially; the latest addition being the more than R15 million in taxpayer's money that will have to be paid to maintain his three wives and fianc. [Interjections.]
The President has failed to show overall leadership in times of crisis and violent protests which are a response to poor service delivery. The ACDP will therefore not support this Budget Vote. Thank you.
