Chairperson and hon members, I dedicate this Budget Vote speech of mine today to the late Smiso Nkwanyana, who passed away at the age of 31, who was a founding member of the Unisa student representative council, SRC, which was established in 1996. This lion was also a driving force in the SA Communist Party, SACP - a tribute to him because he represents the contributions of communists in the liberation and the transformation of our country. Indeed, equitable access to education as our first founding President Nelson Mandela would have said is an important part of restoration of social justice beyond just legislative redress, especially in the context of our history.
