Bab' uNkwinti, gaan u dit in Afrikaans s? [Bab' uNkwinti, are you going to say it in Afrikaans?]
Nee, Adjunkspeaker. Ek gaan nie Afrikaans praat nie.[No, Deputy Speaker. I am not going to speak in Afrikaans.]
I will speak in isiXhosa and English. "The black ox has nowhere to feed, and the white ox has all the pasture." John Langalibalele Dube, the first President of the ANC, in responding to the 1913 Natives Land Act, said this. [Interjections.] The situation remains practically the same. So, it is unsustainable and we can't go on with it.
The 1955 Freedom Charter stated that: "Land shall be shared among those who work it." That was stated by the people of South Africa. As black people, particularly African people in the country, we have been bending over backwards. It is time all of us took responsibility for the progress of all South Africans because South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white. [Applause.]
The racial and national disaggregation of the land audit is happening. We are busy with that. Actually, we have done quite a lot of work with regard to it, particularly in the Western Cape to start with, because it is easy to deal with that. [Interjections.] It is easy to deal with that.
Lastly, in the 2010-11 financial year, I agreed that 95% of land which was restored to people was unproductive. That was about four years ago. Today, 27% of that land is productive. In fact, over the last three years, we have produced at least three millionaires - people who have cash in the bank. They are black. [Applause.] We are actually rekindling the class of black commercial farmer which was destroyed by the 1913 Natives Land Act. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
