Chairperson, as hon Sithole indicates in the question, to get the country onto a different trajectory will require a very serious intervention. From the diagnosis we looked at two particular issues: The first is that too few South Africans work; and the second is that the educational outcomes for the majority of South Africans are way too suboptimal.
So the focus of the plan is very much on both human and national capabilities. Human capabilities will only result from serious interventions in a range of areas such as education, skills, access to adequate health care, access to a decent built environment and access to a range of public services. At the same time we have to focus continually on both the capacity and the capability of the state and ensure that we will professionalise the Public Service, and that public servants are immersed in the development work required, but shielded from unnecessary and undue political interference. That is basically what the plan is built around, and I think it is an answer to the question by the hon Sithole.
