Mr Chairperson, let me say one thing. In this House it's interesting that President Zuma is now blamed for the economy. But online the DA went and criticised Minister Davies, that he shouldn't have spent R120 000 when in fact that money was to bring in the Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises, SMME, entrepreneurs and the Cape Town local service providers. [Interjections.] Of course you are now embarrassed, so you want to shut up because you are in your own constituency. [Interjections.]
Now, let me just say that we can congratulate the DTI on the manner in which it supported women recently at the Global Summit of Women, where the Technology for Women in Business and Techno Girl programme was given by the Ministerial Roundtable the Best Practices Award for Innovative Entrepreneurship. [Applause.] So there we are, that is small business, hon James.
Now on top of this, let me just say, in terms of broadening participation, that it is most unfortunate that we have not yet persuaded you, that is, the FF Plus, to actually analyse the legislation and realise this can only benefit you. It can only benefit you because you are going to provide the services to those in business - the skills, the training, etc.
The ANC supports this Budget Vote. [Applause.]
