    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving this opportunity. I thank all the Members who have voted. Even though we have not got the requisite numbers, for me it is a great milestone. When I was coming here, I was worried. I thought we would only get 50. For those of us who were here in the last Parliament, I want to congratulate Members. They have done a wonderful job. I want to agree with the Speaker that this is a case where we should not be punishing Members who have not voted. Let us take time to talk to each other. Even up to yesterday, I was still talking to Members who for one or two reasons were supporting us before, but were upset because of one or two reasons. Let us take time to talk to each other and persuade each other so that if we are given a second chance to vote by the Speaker, including having a good finishing for our brothers who are not able to see how we can throw a good jig, that is also possible. I want to encourage our brothers and sisters that we are not bribing you. We are begging you for the sake of our sisters, aunties and grandmothers. For the sake of this one, we have cut the line and not put grandmothers. We put an age limit, even for mistresses for those who are shouting mistresses. For purposes of this, I have no qualms even if it is Mr. Mabona who wants to bring a co-wife to join me here. I will be very willing for the purpose of this."
