Chair, hon members, the UDM supports the Bill. However, the Bill before us constitutes large additional appropriations for two government entities that suffer from perennial financial woes. As far as Denel is concerned, its struggle to become and stay profitable has been ongoing for years. This, despite billions in taxpayers' money being invested in it, as well as the billions more spent on the arms deal, which should have produced positive spin-offs. We are being asked to sponsor another restructuring. Let's hope that this time the investment bears fruit.
The other entity that stands to benefit from additional taxpayers' money is the Road Accident Fund. It has also been the subject of restructuring over the years. Despite annual promises of improvement following annual bail- outs, the RAF remains a budgetary black hole that sucks up the taxpayer's money, without ever seeming to get out of the red. Nevertheless, we support the Bill. Thank you.
