The Chairperson commenced the meeting by welcoming a new Committee Member, Mr X Ngwezi (IFP, KZN) who has joined the Committee to replace the late Mr S Mfayela (IFP, KZN).

In the last meeting that was scheduled, the Committee could not sit because of certain challenges such as the unavailability of the Minister and the quorum. The Committee was supposed to look at the undertaking of the Department of Small Business Development but could not hence this meeting was called. Unfortunately, the meeting clashes with the budget speech and the Minister was deployed in the Presidency therefore undertakings made by the Minister of Small Business Development will not be scrutinised today. Only the Committee reports and Committee minutes will be considered.
