I am on Vote 30. I am talking to Programme 4, which is about pebble bed modular reactors.
Minister you have allocated R678 million to this project and this is for research, etc. We all realise that we must reduce carbon emissions, but we believe that the Medium-Term Budget has made R6 billion available for the next three years.
My first question is: Will this be enough to begin construction of this pebble bed modular reactor, bearing in mind that the corporate structure is still not in place? The second question is: We notice that a guarantee of R220 million, which was a guarantee against Denel, had to be paid, and we would just like to know why Denel did not perform properly with regard to this contract. Could you please just help us there? Will this R220 million be the only claim or are there more claims to be paid out in respect of this guarantee for Denel?
