No, he is not an elite. He is a young man who is interested in improving the quality of life of our people. [Applause.]
The state-owned mining company will continue to make a difference. It will compete. It is already competing, and I am very happy with that. There are no rights that are being given to holy cows here. In this country there are procedures, a Constitution and an MPRDA, and everyone must follow them. Maybe when you are the Minister you will take short cuts, but it will not be while I am still the Minister. I will never allow that. [Applause.] On the issue of the Kimberley Process, KP, and the allegations you have made in this regard, do me a favour - go and read the Kimberley Process. Understand the regulations and statutory aspects of the Kimberley Process and the role of the KP chairperson, who took a decision in March to endorse the fact that Zimbabwean diamonds, specifically Marange, are compliant. [Interjections.] Do me a favour; acquaint yourself with that decision.
