Hon member, yes,
we are busy with that. I had a meeting with Dr Thami Mazwai of small businesses development from the National Development Plan. It's on their request that we are beginning to identify buildings where small businesses can start doing business.
If maybe small business comes to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, we can always arrange that if buildings are transferred between government departments, it can be transferred free of charge. So, there are opportunities now where those unused buildings can be used by SMMEs. The Minister of Small Business Development has already also requested for those buildings and land so that she can also use it for small businesses. So, it's a process and I hope that by early next year, we will be able to scope the whole country and see where we can release land for
small and medium enterprises. It's very important. People do need the land and the buildings.
But in the mean time, if there are people who need one, they can immediately approach the department. We can assist them to follow the process to apply.
