Thank you. We are in the process of reviewing the organogram to reflect our new vision.
Chairperson, at this stage I wish to thank Deputy Minister Ben Martins for excellent, critical but loyal support; the director-general, Mr Matona, for his seasoned stewardship of our administration; the boards and chairpersons of SOEs and their CEOs; and the entire Department of Public Enterprises team for a great commitment to the goals of our nation as spelled out by our government. Profound gratitude is also due to the portfolio committee and, particularly, the chairperson, for the spirit of camaraderie in the discharge of their oversight responsibilities.
Finally, I want to thank my beautiful daughter, Qhakazile, even though she is absent today - for the first time - for her unfailing support, even when I neglect her in pursuit of national service, and for always smiling and giving me unqualified love. I accordingly request this committee to support the Department of Public Enterprises Budget Vote of R230 million. Some of these figures are too big for me. Thank you. [Applause.]
