I need to add that as government, we appreciate the importance of planning in all our development efforts. I must emphasize that, development planning is essential in providing clear definitions and articulations of national, provincial and district priorities for government actions and in the allocation of public resources. This planning process is thus essential as we endeavour to transform the country into a prosperous middle income nation. Our brand of development planning must make a break with the past and go beyond mere statements. That is why we are happy that the science and technology sector is taking this route of identifying provincial priorities upon which the national research agenda will be anchored.
