We are making sustainable use of the rich abundance of the South African earth.   By supporting our farmers, improving our logistics network and rural supply chains, and opening new export markets for products we can significantly expand our agricultural sector.   We want South Africa to be leading in the commercial production of hemp and cannabis.   We are breathing new life into the mining industry, whichremains one of our most important and valuable endowments.   We are on track to implement a new, modern and transparent mining rights system this year, which will unlock investment in exploration and production.   We will put in place an enabling policy and regulatory framework for critical minerals.   By beneficiating these minerals here in South Africa, we can make use of the extraordinary wealth that lies beneath our soil for the benefit of our people.   Even more valuable than our natural resources are the diversity, energy and talent of the South African people.   The services sector is now the largest part of our economy, ranging from financial services to retail, hospitality, tourism and the burgeoning creative industry.   The tourism sector is growing rapidly, with close to 9 million tourists having visited our country last year.   We will grow tourism through our visa reforms, through increasing the number of flights to key destinations, and through marketing South Africa as the best country in the world to visit.   #SONA2025 #AWorkingNation
