To broaden the base of the economy, the IDC committed R9,6 billion in women empowered enterprises, drawing in a large number of female entrepreneurs. These include enterprises in fashion, in engineering services, in medical gas and in aquaculture.
What these examples show is that through industrial funding many more South Africans can help to create wealth, create jobs, enable the payment of taxes - Minister Mboweni, we need a bit more budget support - and to help to bring innovation and entrepreneurship to the economy. That sets out some of the impact of the IDC in the areas of youth, women, black industrialists and broad empowerment. Thank you.
