Chairperson, Ministers present, MECs, hon members, good evening. The administration of a department is a server of that department. As it is written that the department must be customer-centred, people who visit our desks must get the best services that will say much about what happens internally. It is important that our desks are user-friendly.
Mohlala, go na le ba bant?i ba batho ba rena bao ba tsebago seo ba se tlet?ego mo?omong mola go na le bao o ka gopolago gore ba thwalet?we go bolela ka megala fela. Mogami wa kgomo ya lefi?a o gama a lebelet?e tsela. Ke re bjalo ka ge ye nngwe ya ditaba t?eo di hlohlelet?ago kgolo ya ekonomi e le phokot?o ya ditshenyegelo.
Mmu?o wa rena o thekga go hlongwa ga National Empowerment Fund, NEF, gore e thu?e Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment, BBBEE. Go hlongwa ga Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa, Asgisa, go hlohlelet?a kgolo ya ekonomi le go dira gore batho ba bant?i ba be le kganyogo ya go ba kgwebong. Go fihla ga bjale, bont?i bja bao ba sego ba ka ba kgona go i?a dit?welet?wa t?a bona ka ntle ga naga ba bont?ha kgahlego. (Translation of Sepedi paragraphs follows.)
[For example, there are many of our people who know what they are employed for, whereas there are those you might think are employed to only chat on the phone. It is of great importance that we consider our future. I am saying this because one of the ways of influencing economic growth is to minimise the costs.
Our government supports the establishment of the National Empowerment Fund, NEF, since it supports Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment, BBBEE. The establishment of the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa, Asgisa, influences economic growth and arouses people's interests in starting their own businesses. Most people who never exported their products have now started to show some interest in doing so.]
Let praise be given to our government, led by the ANC.
Go laedit?e gore go bonolo kudu go dira kgwebo le batho ba ga borena ba ka ntle ga naga. Mohlala, profenseng ya Limpopo, re na le batho bao ba reki?ago dit?welet?wa t?a bona Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique le dinageng t?e dingwe. Go bonolo kudu go batho ba Botswana go tli?a ma?ot?a mo Afrika-Borwa. Ma?ot?a ke dijo t?a kgauswi t?eo batho ba kgonago go di reka. (Translation of Sepedi paragraph follows.)
[It has been proved that it is very easy to do business with people who are outside our country. For example, in Limpopo province there are people who export their products to Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique and other countries. It is very easy for the people in Botswana to bring Mopani worms to South Africa. Mopani worms are the foodstuffs that people find easy to buy.]
This shows that a person who produces food from their backyard can export it to other countries.
Direto di sa romelwa mmu?ong wa rena wa lehono ka ge bana ba ga borena le bommago rena ba kgona go tshelela ka nageng ya Afrika-Borwa. Batho ba ba t?eere karolo kudu kua morago ge baswana ba sa gatelet?we. Baswana be ba t?habela dinageng t?a ga bo bona gomme ba ba amogela. Bafaladi ba bangwe ba tli?a bohodu le bosenyi, eup?a bont?i bja bona ba tli?it?e kgodi?o ekonoming. Re humane batho ba bant?i bao e lego boramahlale go t?wa go bona, gape re na le dingaka t?a bokgabo go t?wa dinageng t?a Afrika.
Mmu?o wa rena wo o etelet?ego pele ke ANC ke ngwedi, o bonagala dikgopolo le dipelo t?eo di lego leswiswing. Manyami ke gore ge o e ya go wona ka t?e mpe, o ka se lokelwe ke selo ka ge t?e mpe di sa batamele ngweding. (Translation of Sepedi paragraphs follows.)
[Let praise be given to our government because our people are able to cross the borders back to South Africa. These people contributed a lot back then when black people were still oppressed. Black people fled to their countries for safety and they welcomed them. Some of the refugees bring crime to our country, but most of them bring economic growth. We have many scientists and specialist doctors from other African countries.
Our government that is led by the ANC is like the moon; it shines its light on the minds and the hearts that are in darkness. The unfortunate part is that when you go to the government with bad intentions, you will not succeed since bad things will never come closer to the moon.]
