Thank you very much, hon Mubu, for the follow-up question. As the South African government we do not believe in regime change. We believe in the principle of noninterference in the sovereign matters of countries that are members of the United Nations.
Secondly, with regard to lessons from the developments in the north of Africa, that is really a matter of historical logic because most of those countries have not experienced democracy. They have been ruled by kings, sheiks, sultans, and so on. The peoples of these countries are demanding basic democratic rights. We believe that they are within their rights to do so. We hope that indeed democracy will be established and consolidated in those parts of the world.
We here in South Africa are different in the sense that we have, over centuries, evolved into a nation. Most of those countries consist of tribes that were colonised and at a certain point were then given independence. Therefore, they were compelled to form states, and it is these states that have been trying to form nations. Therefore, this is, in a sense, a phase in that evolution and development. In a nutshell, what I'm saying is that South Africa is different because we evolved as a nation over centuries. Thank you.
