Our vision is to do more to help the average worker become an owner of capital. That means building into contracts the need for real partnerships between business and employees and incentivising share ownership across the economy. And we will invest in infrastructure. This investment, when coupled with a sound financial strategy and real capacity in implementing agents, is the best way that the state can create the economic-enabling environment for growth.
But I think that we should also realise that the state cannot be the final determinant in the economy and that, as much as we invest in infrastructure, the state cannot have a holistic plan for every sector, especially when it is marred by incapacity. As such, a DA government will replace the current Industrial Policy Action Plan 2 with a streamlined industrial development and growth strategy that would focus on specific activities rather than on whole sectors, create targeted financial incentives for new enterprises and develop a dedicated venture capital fund.
We will address one of the most divisive legacies of our past: the legacy of the 1913 Land Act. We know that people who once made their living off the land were driven from it and forced into an economy for which the compounding sin of Bantu education deliberately provided limited skills. But land reform in our country is not working because of the incompetence and incapacity of the very institutions that are supposed to drive it. Our vision is to make right that wrong.
We will use the mechanisms at our disposal to create truly diverse rural ownership. And that diversity, again, is not about empowering a segment of society that is already empowered. It is about giving new opportunities to those who are without resources and who want to farm.
Somlomo, lo mbono omuhle uzonyamalala uma sizicabangela thina sodwa, singasebenzeli umphakathi nezwe lethu. [Ubuwelewele.] [Speaker, this good vision will vanish if we only think of ourselves, and not work for the community and our country. [Interjections.]]
