Chairperson, I am worried about the hon member who just spoke now because she is not even a member of the committee. I was just responding to the member of the committee.
Of all the programmes contained in the 2012 Budget Vote of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, food security and agrarian reform attempt to address one of the fundamental pillars of the national democratic revolution: agrarian reform. The R1,4 billion that has been appropriated for this programme must be seen within the context of what the ANC-led government has to achieve.
Ngoko ke, ngale mali siyifakileyo sizama ukulungisa zonke ezo zinto. I-ANC iyaluxhasa olu hlahlo-lwabiwo-mali. [Kwaqhwatywa.] [Therefore, with the funds that we have donated, we are trying to make all these things right. The ANC supports this budget. [Applause.]]
