Hon House Chair, thank you. The programme on the commercialisation of black farmers was announced by the former President, the former delinquent in 2014. Three years later, funds for the programme were appropriated by the current President. In our committee meetings Minister, in your presence, your department has said that they are yet to finalise the framework for commercialisation and yet you are giving a response in Parliament today and said you have spent around R68 million on that programme. Did you spend the money before the framework for the programme was finalised or you were just giving those figures for the sake of answering a question posed to you? If so, how did you go about selecting beneficiaries because, I believe that the
framework would also speak to how beneficiaries on that programme are going to be selected? Thank you.
