Chairperson, the democratic government has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that our human resources are developed to the full. Fundamental to the development of our human resources is the creation of the environment that is conducive to learning.
The success in the implementation and realisation of the above-stated goals lies in the partnership between government, the private sector and the general public.
The ANC applauds the initiative taken by two private companies that have decided on their own, seeing the needs of the children and community of Schagen in the Mpumalanga province, to build a school to serve the community.

[The ANC applauds the efforts of the two companies, the Bundu Inn, who had committed itself to building a dining hall and erecting a security fence around the whole school to prevent the stealing of school property; and the Golden Merc, for lending a hand in building the classrooms, roofing the office and fixing the ceiling. This company has also committed itself to installing built-in cupboards in the whole farm school called the Mfezi Primary school.
We call on all people to emulate these good deeds. I thank you. [Applause.]]
