Chairperson, Gauteng and Mpumalanga have been selected to pilot this small, medium and micro enterprise, SMME, programme during the 2014-15 financial year. The outcome will direct the development of guidelines consistent with industry's best practices and standards for uniformity.
At the end of 2013, realising the opportunities that remain mostly untapped in our maritime domain, President Zuma's Cabinet adopted a resolution on the development and adoption of the South African Oceans Economy Policy, commonly referred to as the Blue Economy. This policy is aligned with the 2050 Africa's Integrated Maritime Strategy adopted at the 22nd Ordinary Session of the African Union, in January 2014. It is also premised on the National Development Plan.
Opportunities that have been identified as jobs drivers ... Thank you, Chairperson. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
