Mr Speaker, owing to unforeseen circumstances Rev Meshoe was unable to be here. I apologise for that and will endeavour to ask the follow-up question for him.
I would like to ask the hon President whether any plan to wean African states off foreign aid was presented during these discussions. What would the details around such a plan be? Would there be domestic reforms that would be necessary in terms of your discussions, rather than agreements? What role was envisaged for the private sector? Would the cessation of dependence on foreign aid mean nationalisation of African resources in any way? Thank you.
