Chairperson, hon Minister and Deputy Minister, hon Members of Parliament, director-general and management team, ladies and gentlemen good day, this budget represents a movement forward with regard to the milestones that have been outlined in the state of the nation address, Sona, by the President, His Excellency Cyril Ramaphosa.
It helps us to understand and to locate the reconfiguration that has been undertaken in particular if we follow the inputs and the budget presentation that has been made by the hon Minister earlier on. More specifically, it responds to the growing challenge wherein we recognise and accept that our economy is not growing and there are no enough jobs that are being created. I think that is a problem that the hon member from the DA can answer better than us. Because the issue of investment boycott or stay away is better understood by you than us... [Intejections.]
Mr M Waters: INAUDIBLE.
Mr M NONTSELE no, no...
