Mutshamaxitulu, Xandla xa Mutshamaxitulu, Xandla xa Presidente xikan'we na Swirho swa Huvo, ndza mi losa. Namuntlha hi fanele ku tsundzuka swilo swinharhu leswi nga eka Tsalwa ra Ntshuxeko. Xo sungula, vanhu va ta fambisa. Xa vumbirhi, vanhu va ta fanela ku avelana rifuwo ra tiko. Xa vunharhu, misava yi ta averiwa lava va yi tirhaka. Ndza swi tiva leswaku lexi xa vava eka vanhu van'wana. Xa vumune, ku ta va na mitirho na vusirheleri. (Translation of Xitsonga paragraph follows.)
[Mr X MABASA: Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Deputy President as well as Members of the House, I salute you. Today we have to remember three things that are in the Freedom Charter. Firstly, the people shall govern. Secondly, the people shall share in the country's wealth. Thirdly, the land shall be shared among those who work it. I know this is painful to some of the people. Fourthly, there shall be work and security.]
This debate takes place as we are focusing on what is often neglected in our economy. We are focusing on how to bring more of our people into the mainstream economy through the use of co-operatives and micro-enterprises. When I talk of co-operatives and small, medium and micro-enterprises, SMMEs, I want you to visualise a group of doctors who get together to form a health co-operative. If you go into one room, you find a dentist, in another room a physician and in another you'll find the ... [Interjections.] ... you have said it for me. [Laughter.]
I want you to imagine an economy where engineers also get together and say, let us form a co-operative. There is the Small Enterprise Development Agency, Seda, which will help us with skills. The Minister of Trade and Industry will also help us with funds and the Minister of Economic Development will help us through the Small Enterprise Finance Agency, Sefa, which is the new organisation that has been formed out of the combination of Khula, Samaf and the small arm of the IDC. [Interjections.] I would advise members on the left not to make me angry, because if they do, I may soon remind them about their grandfather, Verwoerd, who got us into the mess we find ourselves in. [Interjections.]
