• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, probably he has gone to become a DO somewhere else. Since DOs are deployed at the Provincial Commissioners (PC) level, I have discussed with the PC to keep on searching for a DO to post to Mbalambala. I do sympathize with the situation there.

• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in supporting this Bill.

• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very important that the views that will be collected by the task force will assist to inform legislation, which is extremely urgent at this moment in time. It is also important to fast-track legislation for the implementation of the Constitution and also the structures to prepare us for an election. It appears as if the country is in a ripe mood for a general election. I see there is that possibility before the end of the year; I think it is very important that we effect reforms in the police and the boundaries commission. ... view
