Speaker, food security will have to stay in place. Except for some production problems that we have at the moment - for example, too little wheat production on account of climatic conditions - we are working towards all these projects being sufficiently supported. Quite a lot of support programmes are in existence.
My point will still be this: I think that Act 126 of 1993, as amended in 1998, should be implemented with greater intensity, because it is a support programme and a land acquisition programme. We can do it. We can get good production on emerging farms, as we have shown in many cases. It is really the case. You can look at some excellent projects that have been done together with Grain SA and together with Sugar SA in Mpumalanga in the Sunday River Valley. These are excellent, successful projects and it can be done. We can even attain large numbers and really bite off this 30% and then continue after that.
I am sure that when you start asking whether this is a quota system, that is not what this is about. In the end, the reasonable approach is to reflect your population composition. There's no doubt about it: That is the policy of this governing party and that is what we are going to get and I'm sure no one and nothing with regard to our food production will be affected. We will manage it. Thank you, Chairperson.
