| Message | Dear Party Leader, The objective of this legislation seems already met, in our eyes, since we have reciprocal tariffs. Imposing protectionnist tariffs and quota on all import will only say to other countries that we do not play fair with them. It could considerably damage trade with other countries and impoverish us. We think the current position is very good. If there are problems, we should see if it is well applied, but certainly not scrap it entirely. Bongani KaAyanda Leader of the Social-Liberal Caucus |

| Message | As usual, Party Leader, The Social Liberals are the weak and spineless members of the party who get scared every time we do something that doesn't perfectly please the white men in foreign countries. -- Kefilwe Bapai, Sezenhlalo Caucus Leader |
