I thank the Minister very much for his response. I certainly support a great deal of what he has to say in regard to using the broad- based black economic system's scorecard to incentivise.
However, Minister, entrepreneurs in rural and peri-urban areas and those in small businesses are in touch, not with your department, but with the provincial departments of economic affairs. Many of these provincial departments are fundamentally disabled and paralysed, and in many provinces there is no point of contact between the department that is supposed to support small entrepreneurs and government. This is particularly true in the case of the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga.
The question I am asking you is this: What steps will you take to make sure that the incubation programmes that you so nicely elaborated on and the government programmes that you outlined for us, with which we agree for the most part, reach the entrepreneurs in rural areas? What steps will you take?
