Hon Deputy Speaker and hon Deputy President.
Afrikaans:
Eerbare President. Agbare President. Ek glo dis agbare en eerbare.
English:
Sustainability is an integration of the three concepts of social, economic and the environmental issues. In your exposition you gave a lot of attention to economic and socio issues, but not to the environment which I do not find surprising if I look around me, because we nearly literally drown in waste in South Africa while waste is actually a concept which should be abolished because every waste stream is actually a resource stream.
I specifically want to refer to a Karoo town in the Northern Cape where they predominantly make use in new sewerage plants of evaporation dams, rather than finding some way of which many are extremely labour intensive to reuse that water and to use the resources logged up in the sewerage stream.
I would like to know from the President if it's part of the plan of the sustainability to recover our environment in a labour intensive way? Thank you, Mr President.
