I will cut my speech short, madam.
In conclusion, I would like to say that we are also enlightened by the commentators that suggest that South Africa is heading towards a recession. On 26 August 2014 the statistics confirmed this. Statistics SA will inform South Africa with regard to the gross domestic product, GDP, results.
We hope that we are going to achieve better growth results. This will answer the question of whether we are heading towards a recession or not. The answer holds serious implications for our country and it is clear that South Africa cannot afford any disconnection between policy and action. With regard to policy direction, it is very clear. The NDP should be implemented. Thank you, Madam Chair. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
