Hon Minister, I see you are covering your last question for today so well in this one; you may not even have to do that one. But we will see how many questions you will get on that question. Trade agreements, in general, are a very good thing and this one is an exciting prospect. However, we all don't just have a responsibility to help drive the economic progression of the African
continent, we also have other obligations. Now, these agreements should also include other binding and enforceable clauses on how labour gets treated, how unions work, social rights and all signatories to this agreement must ratify the agreement and then adhere to that. My concern is: Should trading partners in Africa renege on these agreements and these clauses, should they commit serious human rights issues such as Uganda with the LGBTI clamp down, in Zimbabwe, where they are clamping down on free speech in opposition, how are we going to navigate around that? Are we going to say that we have a moral obligation to fulfil, and how are we going to weigh up that economic advantages versus our moral obligations and that we should be holding our partners on the continent accountable?
