Thank you, Chair.
What, hon Minister, could we enquire, is to happen to the Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Programme, in view of the newly announced Department of Rural Development, which we understand is still in the process of being formed? Clearly that issue cannot be delayed pending the setting up of the new department.
To conclude, the ACDP would like to congratulate the Minister and the Deputy Minister on their appointment to the newly named department. We will particularly miss the Deputy Minister in the justice committee. He is no doubt very pleased to be back to what was known as the Department of Provincial and Local Government. Clearly, it was definitely not "Sport and Recreation" when he was in Justice! We also thank all the departmental officials for their commitment and dedication. The ACDP will support this Budget Vote. I thank you. [Applause.]
