Ladies and gentlemen:
Last year I stood in this august Chamber, to outline the bold plans which we had designed for our beautiful Province. These plans were about propelling Limpopo to the heights of socio-economic prosperity.
We sought to overcome the inherited yet deep-seated legacy of unemployment, poverty, and inequality.
Our plans were also about building on the impressive achievements we have registered since the dawn of democracy in 1994.
This year’s address is taking place amid a devastating and deadly global coronavirus pandemic. Covid-19 has severely impacted our plans.
