Thank you once again, hon Maneli. Outside of these legislative prescripts, the sixth administration has identified seven priorities to
respond to impediments to our developmental objectives and fast-track economic development. These seven priorities we all know. The first priority focuses on economic transformation and job creation; the second on education, skills and ensuring health to our nation; the third one on consolidating the social wage through reliable and quality basic services; the fourth one, spatial integration, human settlements and local government; the fifth one, social cohesion and safe communities - including the fight against corruption and crime; the sixth one, a capable, ethical and developmental state, and lastly - the seventh one, a better Africa and a better world.
These seven priorities have informed the crafting of the Medium-Term Strategic Framework which will guide and anchor the work of government in the next five years to achieve developmental objectives in line with the National Development Plan. Thank you very much.
