Thank you, House Chair. Deputy Minister, the NDP has failed to meet almost all of its targets. [Interjections.] Yes, and that was because of the ... based on the incorrect and misguided
idea that the private sector will actually grow the economy. The NDP promised growth of six per cent but by the look of things, by organisations this year, growth will be at one per cent.
The NDP promised to reduce unemployment by 14%; now we are standing at between 13 million and 24 million that are unemployed in South Africa.
Do you agree that ... move on the state-driven industrial policy, to grow the economy and create jobs is the only direction that the state must take at the moment, considering what is happening in terms of the growth of the economy?
