The thing you are not listening. Listening is a skill and we will teach you that. Hon Chair, some bold, deliberate and decisive decisions need to be taken if we are to meet these noble policy statements. Is it not time that we offer the buyers and sellers of mineral resources, Minister, shipping services as part of our offerings? Is it maybe not the right time to consider a national shipping company to drive a proudly South African agenda and contribute to job creations and contribute towards economic growth? [Interjections.]
Hon Chair, the full implementation of the National Ports Act of 2005 can longer be postponed. We call on all responsible parties to attend to this as a matter of urgency. Hon Chair, International Maritime Organisation, IMO, regulations on low sulphur fuels are coming into force globally on 1 January 2020.
You see, we discuss international matters not just Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, here, hon Mabhena. [Interjections.] What this implies is that all spheres must effectively be required to be ready for this.
Hon Chair, the issue of roads has been spoken about with the Minister and the hon Deputy Minister. Safe to say Minister we cannot continue to pump money into provinces that are continually reducing their budgets instead of maintaining their roads. We, as the ANC, fully support this Budget Vote.
In conclusion, those who claim Nelson Mandela let me tell you what he said. He said and I quote "A winner is a dreamer who never gives up." [Interjections.] We will continue dreaming and we will continue winning. Thank you, hon Chair. [Applause.]
