Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the Minister for that undramatic and factual response to this dramatic question. There are of course many people in South Africa who care deeply about the plight of our fellow Africans in Zimbabwe and this is not confined to De la Rey's fans. I think there are people on both sides of this House who feel the same.
Now, the Minister has made it quite clear what the constitutional position is. I would like to ask him whether that same constitutional position applies to the Reserve Bank and to the parastatals. I would like to specifically ask: Does the SA Reserve Bank give assistance or has it given assistance, direct or indirect, to the Zimbabwean government aimed at helping that government to meet its obligations?
