As Cinderella she can shake off the shackles of her two ugly sisters - the Departments of Trade and Industry, DTI, and of Economic Development - which for the past five years have been a great disappointment as regards creating opportunities for small business. Like Drizella and Anastasia, with their big feet and unwieldy frames, they have been slow to move and have presented the disagreeable face of the ANC government to small business. Now small businesses have an opportunity to emerge from their shadows and be nimble of foot. I have made it clear to the hon Minister that I will adopt a constructive approach to the department and in the committee.
So let me take the analogy a step further by saying I am willing and ready to play the role of Prince Charming ...
HON MEMBERS: Viva! [Applause.]
