The CHAIRPERSON OF THE NCOP: If members can just be patient, I
am told that the team is here attending to the issue of sound
system. Yes, they got it right.
The MINISTER OF SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: We are back. Indeed,
this is in line with the district-based approach the President
announced during the state of the nation address.

As the President committed our government to lead from the
front on improved co-ordination, we are finalising agreements
with the private sector and other development funding
institutions, DFIs, for a much more co-ordinated effort in
supporting SMMEs and co- operatives, which eliminates
duplication and leverages the resources for a more impactful
implementation.
We are here to implement the ANC manifesto, and it was indeed
pleasing to hear members of the opposition benches speaking on
ANC conference resolutions for they lack their own plans.
Interestingly, for a technology person, technology has failed
me throughout the day. As I conclude, I would like to thank you
Mr President for launching the buy local campaign at such an
august occasion of our nation - the first state of the nation
address of the sixth administration.

Like someone else said, buy local is not about buying from a
local Chanel and Louis Vuitton store, it is about buying
locally produced and made goods. [Laughter.] It is about
growing the demand for our economy. We are committed to walking
the journey with SMMEs as they deliver quality goods for all
markets as we promote the buy local mindset shifts. Following
on your giant footsteps, Mr President, I am beautifully dressed
by Mr Rembu Ramagoma of Muhuyu House of Creations based in
Pretoria West in Tshwane. [Applause.]

Ms S GWARUBE: Chairperson, on Thursday night, we watched with
great anticipation as the President delivered his state of the
nation address. In truth, the speech was big on dreamy rhetoric
and thin on much needed details.

More concerning was the absence of a plan to provide quality
health care for our people. Each and every one of us in this
House is familiar with the deep despair and helplessness which
comes with sickness. It is at those times that nothing is
scarier than being dependent on a health system that has been
neglected for decades and has been systematically unravelling
at the seams. The reality is that millions of South Africans
are too familiar with that scenario.
