Hon member, you are lobbying for the surplus maize to be considered for biofuels. But I don't believe that that will secure security of supply of that feedstock. We need consistent feedstock to be able to introduce something.
So, we are saying to hon members that we believe that energy is important. Energy is the lifeline of socioeconomic development. It is important that we continually engage in different debates in this House, in the committees and in the various forums to make sure that we can address the challenges related to energy in this country.
I would also appeal to hon members to participate in the process of producing a plan that will say to South Africans that about 20, 30, 40 years from now their lights will still be on, and 30, 40 years from now there will still be liquid fuel for their cars or for jets to make it possible to increase the number of tourists, and increase movement of goods and services and people - in this country, out of this country and in the world. I thank you. [Applause.]
Debate concluded.
