One Of The Issues That I Have Raised In That Context Is Our Transport System, Road, Rail And Ports. We Have Raised This Before, That The South African Economy Has Grown At A Rate That Has Overtaken The Capacity Of The Transport System. And Therefore, We Have Said That It Is Necessary To Expand Our Capacity In The Ports.

That Is One Of The Reasons Why We Have Raised This Matter About The Need To Focus Quite Sharply On The Function Of Local Government, But Also On The Resourcing Of Local Government. Because It May Very Well Be That We Say To Local Government, You Have Got To Run An Indigent Policy.

You Have To Make Sure That [grants] Reach People By Virtue Of Their Identity Documents.

I Don't Imagine Heads Of Government Would Ever Be Able To Say I'm Not An Economist Therefore I Can't Take Decisions On Matters Of The Economy; I'm Not A Soldier I Can't Take Decisions On Matters Of Defence; I'm Not An Educationist So I Can't Take Decisions About Education.

If You Look For Instance At The Automobile Industry, Part Of The Reason That You Have The Expansion Of That Sector, Is Precisely Because We Have Gone Out To Talk To The Automobile Companies To Explain Government Policy With Regard To That Sector, To Talk To Them About The Midp And Things Like That. And Indeed, It Has Been A Very Important Part Of Attracting Those Investors To Put In Money In The South African Economy And Build Motorcars In South Africa.
