Deputy Speaker, on Budget day 2019, I brought a resilient Aloe ferox plant. Mr President, on a cheeky note, let me say that you might remember that I also presented to you, Your Excellency, an Aloe ferox plant, which I'm very confident is still alive and growing ... [Interjections.] ... because its health and growth signifies an important element of the South African economy. This little Aloe ferox is emerging from a long winter. During that winter the ground became hard, the leaves fell from the trees and the air was bitterly cold. We toiled, hoping for better days. Our people became poorer. Some of them lost their jobs.
