Thank you, hon Speaker. Hon President, of the countries visited, Brazil probably has the most similarities to South Africa. And most observers agree that Brazil's emergence and recent surge can be attributed to political leadership. Since the 1990s, the sequencing of tough reform targeted social policies and the commodity boom.
The ACDP believes that all these developments have important lessons for South Africa, and we are grateful for their link with Brazil. But would you agree with the further widely held observation that the most instructive aspect of Brazil's ascent is the strong consensus and common vision that has developed between government and business over the past decade? If so, how can a similar consensus and common vision be developed in South Africa between government, business and labour, particularly regarding economic growth issues? I'm referring now to beyond the Nedlac process. Thank you.
