Hon Chairperson, the EFF rejects the budget of the Science and Technology department, because not much is really being done in South Africa to involve ordinary people as far as technology is concerned. Our view as the EFF is that technology should be about ordinary people. There is a serious need for practical involvement with technology, and this is not happening at the moment. The department should expand the use of technology as a means of teaching. The department should take innovation seriously, because we cannot buy electronic devices from all over the world when our people have the capacity to produce them. There are no plans to build more science and technology institutes to expand the skills and knowledge of our people. It is not true that we cannot even manufacture a car in South Africa. Accordingly, we reject this budget, because it does not bring any innovation to our people. Thank you. [Applause.]
