The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES: Chairperson of today, the chairpersons of the portfolio committee and the select committee, hon Deputy Minister, members of the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces, members of executive councils, former directors-general, ambassadors, captains of industry, winners of our national female entrepreneur awards, leaders of political organisations, unions, nongovernmental organisations, community organisations, faith-based institutions, farm workers, fisherfolk and community forestry organisations, students and leaders from our agricultural colleges and other training institutions, ladies and gentlemen, comrades and colleagues, our struggle icon and father of our nation, Nelson Mandela, once said that we did not want freedom without bread, nor did we want bread without freedom. We must provide for all the fundamental rights and freedoms associated with a democratic society. This means that we can neither divorce freedom from food, nor food from freedom. I thus implore us all to recommit ourselves to working together for food security. This is the theme of today's budget speech.
