It is an honour for us to be here today for the final post-State of the Nation Address briefing by these Clusters, as we approach the end of the political term that began in 2009. Given this importance, it is also a special honour to expand on the expansive evidence President Jacob Zuma presented in the State of the Nation Address of how South Africa has become a better place in which to live. It is also clear to us that we are, as the President said, “a nation at work” and that we are creating opportunities on many fronts in our war on unemployment.
