Hon Chair, hon Minister as South Africa we are desperately looking for foreign investment for growth. How will the contradicting policy of the ANC as it was specifically said by your predecessor that foreign nationals should have lease only in South Africa, encourage foreign investment in the current unemployment crisis which we saw today is at 29,1%?
The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, LAND REFORM AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT: Hon
member, I have just answered the question even though I was not answering you about our view on the treatment of land ownership by foreign nationals, I have answered that. I am saying it will depend on this Parliament what they would want to do. You say my predecessor made a proposal to the effect that foreign nationals must only have a lease hold. That is not in law, it was a proposal and that is not in policy, it was a proposal. For anything to have an effect, it would have to be policy supported by legislation. Until such is done, there is nothing. In my own view, there is no policy contradiction as we speak here today on that matter and I do not think foreign investors at the do not find South Africa's dispensation for foreign investment adverse in any way. Thank you very much.
