Hon Chairperson, the ANC's view is very simple and has been eloquently expressed in this House today by the hon Mkongi, the hon Mantashe and by the hon Koornhof, and underlined by the Minister of Trade and Industry.
However, just to refresh our memories, may I add that everyone agreed - and the ANC wishes to make it clear that it welcomes this - that value addition is important, and that it will create jobs and grow the economy. We all agreed. So the ANC welcomes that.
We also wish to say that the ANC wishes to use the concept, the principle of beneficiation, under the overarching Industrial Policy Action Plan to create more jobs. And there is absolutely no proof that I have seen or heard, not even in this House, indicating that that is not going to happen and that it hasn't happened.
Thirdly, the Western Cape itself recognises this by inviting plants and factories to come and add value to primary products. [Interjections.] So I'm not sure. The ANC wants to reassert that our policy is to create an inclusive economy and to bring about a radical transformation of the current skewed economy that we have. [Interjections.] I thank you. [Applause.]
