Veterans:
Whether she will provide details relating to the Hoefyster project; if not,

what are the reasons for the delay, (c) what amount has been budgeted for
this project, (d) what are the time frames for the implementation of the

REPLY:
Dear Honourable Member, anything called âprojectâ in the Defence
environment means it is operational. The Constitution provides for these
matters to be dealt with sensitively by the Joint Standing Committee.
However, the particular project has not as yet been authorised by the
Military Command Council (MCC).
