Speaker and hon Deputy Minister, the theme of this conference was "The New Global Opportunity", and it focused on the challenge for governments to create opportunities for economic growth and activity. Yet it seems that some regions in South Africa offer more opportunities for entrepreneurs than others. Why is it that a region such as the Western Cape has recovered faster from the recession than all other provinces? As you know, employment figures for the Western Cape have been growing while those of all other regions have been shrinking during the first half of this year. Thank you.
