Chairperson, hon Ministers Nkwinti and Zokwana, hon Deputy Ministers, special delegates and invited guests, ladies and gentlemen, hon Minister Nkwinti has already presented the budget policy speech of our department to this House, and the Deputy Minister, hon Mashego-Dlamini, has also put emphasis on some of our areas of work. I therefore propose to take another approach and will probably not read the entire speech. I particularly want to do so here because we have delegates from provinces who would like to hear what is happening in their respective provinces.
