Thank you for giving me the opportunity of mentioning some of the things that we in national Government are doing, together with our social partners, to take the resolutions of the Job Summit forward. I want, too, to emphasise our solidarity with and commi tment to the efforts of the provincial leadership of the North West Province, and their social partners, to make this Job Summit work. It is a small part of a greater resolve. Our President, Cabinet and Government have made binding commitments in respect of job creation. I know that this is true of the provincial leadership in the North West Province, and I take heart that your deliberati ons here will find practical interventions that will improve the lives of all our people - and are sensitive to the needs of our neighbours.
Integration is the buzz word of the new government.
So let us roll up our sleeves and get to work.
