Still in relation to you Mr Maynier, I want to go on to say that I am extremely glad you left the Defence Force as, quite clearly, you have given more to drama than to service. [Laughter.] [Applause.] Mr Maynier, does the term Chihuahua come to your mind? No, I'm sure it wouldn't. It comes to my mind.
I want to thank the hon Groenewald for his support. My wish is that you offer free lessons to the DA. You complain about the people who failed their navigation exams in my service. These have failed their navigation exams with distinction in understating what it is that this country is about. Please give them free lessons. [Applause.]
Unmitigated drivel from the Minister of Defence. God help us if this is a reflection of the average level of debate in parliament. I find it hard to believe someone can be so idiotic and yet still coherent.

Reply by David Maynier of the DA
Sisulu's reply (quoted here)
It helps to read the three articles in order, however, if you are in a hurry just read the last two - that way you can see how she misquoted Maynier.
