In unison, the collective of the Portfolio Committee on Tourism agreed that the long-term strategic objective remains the same, and that long-term strategic objective it is the attainment of a South Africa that one day will know no colour, will know no creed and it will be a prosperous society.
The relentless effort to create this type of society is something that we seek to achieve. Future history of generations that shall be proud of referring to themselves as a national democratic society; as I said, is something that we seek to achieve.
At all material times, hon members, this is what in essence informs our approach as the portfolio committee. We are vigilantly and perpetually sensitive to the reality that the society we seek to create for future history will be an outcome of a protracted struggle between the offsprings of the beneficiaries of injustices
of our past and the offsprings of those who consciously chose to pursue the task of ensuring the triumph of the revolution of the people.
This is the context within which we humble ourselves before this House and declare for all and sundry to know that the committee has collectively brought to this House the following lessons from Howick's oversight work:
Lesson number one: Howick is a small dorpie [town] like many other small dorpies [towns] in South Africa, which can be used in the context of what the President has announced as an objective to build new cities in South Africa. To create a city, as part of this national democratic society, intrinsically linked to its history, topography and demographics to be used terrorism purposes; that is lesson number one.
Lesson number two: It is important to continue the task of strong inter- governmental relations as it was demonstrated by both the provincial legislature, the district municipality and the local municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal; as they were with us as we were doing this
oversight work. We were accompanied by Mayor Sizwe Sokhela and Deputy Mayor Buthelezi, through the presence of also member of the legislature there, hon James Nxumalo.
Lesson number three: There was immediate responsiveness by the local municipality to install Central Circuit Television, CCTV, cameras to realise the objective of creating security and comfort for the people of Howick so that they can enjoy tourism.
Lesson number four: The report that beneficiaries were already identified and land was already also identified, and necessary construction of the necessary infrastructure was already done to make sure that people are resettled in those [Time expired.] Thank you very much, hon Chairperson. [Applause.]
