Speaker, with respect to assuring the House that all equipment used in peacekeeping operations is returned to the country after it has been used, the department and the Ministry can give this House that assurance, barring, of course, those instances that I referred to. And I have indicated what procedures are followed to deal with problems when they are encountered.
Regarding the question about the systems in the department through which information about all equipment that is in the hands of the SA National Defence Force is tracked, that is a matter which we have provided information about, even at the sittings and sessions of the public accounts committee, with respect to the managerial interventions that the Minister has instructed to be put in place to address this matter. I thank you, Speaker.
