Speaker, yes, indeed, that is the reason why the Ministry of Rural Development and Land Reform has been established; it was precisely to, among other functions, ensure that there is development taking place in the rural areas.
Concerning the infrastructure that is lying fallow, it is no doubt something that the Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform and, of course, the Presidential Infrastructure Co-ordinating Commission, PICC, could look into and ensure that those structures be renovated to a level where they could serve as some kind of catalyst for developing the local economies. They could be renovated to that level, because the development patterns of South Africa followed three nodal points: the Reef in Gauteng, the Winelands in Cape Town here in the Western Cape, and Durban in KwaZulu- Natal.
The rest of the country remains underdeveloped. That is part of the reason why the PICC has identified the strategic infrastructure projects to try and spread nodal points for development beyond the three that serve as catchment areas today. Even the recent census confirmed that, in terms of the movement of people from one province to another, they are moving into provinces where there is development. Thank you.
