Deputy Speaker, I think the suggestion by the hon member is sensible and it is something that we are beginning to do now.
Recently my department announced a training programme that would take people with some financial skills, put them in a specific programme with the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants, give them work exposure, and help them to be absorbed into employment opportunities. Now, of course, that will provide employment to those young persons. However, the financial skills that they would bring to smaller and black-owned companies would in turn help those companies to thrive.
The infrastructure programme is an important tool with which we can do that. We can even set out these requirements exactly for the larger contractors with regard to tenders and other technical conditions. So we see this as an opportunity to do more than build ports and lay railway lines. It is also an opportunity for skills development and industrialisation. Thank you.
