Chairperson, as far as the additional R700 million to the Land Bank is concerned, committee members expressed grave concern at the performance of the Land Bank, in particular the rapid turnover of senior staff and alleged disappearance of assets, and have queried the sustainability of the bank's continued operation. We trust, however, that the new business model will enable the Land Bank to be able to fulfil its mandate.
As far as the PBMR is concerned, we undeniably need additional electrical power sources and therefore we should support the research and development of this project. Parliament needs, however, to closely monitor the massive cost implications of this project where an additional R1,8 billion is now allocated.
The ACDP also shares the concerns around budgets for stadium construction, namely that they may be exceeded or that there may be cash flow problems. Clearly, in view of the narrow timeframes agreed on for the completion of these stadiums, they should not and cannot be constrained by cash flow shortages; therefore, we support the additional amount of R1,9 billion which will allay such concerns.
The ACDP will accordingly support the Special Adjustments Appropriation Bill.
