Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I just like to thank the hon Gasebonwe for the statement on the Zimbabwean dispensation. In order to update the hon member and other members, as of yesterday we had received 33 117 applications, and we have already adjudicated 9 890 of them.
As you know, we also announced amnesty for those who return the South African documents that they received fraudulently, if they follow the procedures and get their own documents. We have already given amnesty to 1 046 people who have returned their documents to us. So, this process is going very well.
I would like to also just say that we have opened an additional office. We have 42 offices that are dealing with this matter, so this should be adequate. We also have 246 dedicated staff dealing with this matter. Tomorrow we will add another 51 staff. So, we think, this should be enough to deal with this matter.
We would like - as the hon member did - to call on the Zimbabweans to use this opportunity and not wait until 31 December, because the offices are there, and some of them are actually underutilised. However, as there have been too many applications in Gauteng, we have opened a special additional office in Harrison and Market Streets to deal with this matter. We are confident that we are well equipped to deal with it, as long as they come on time and not wait until the last minute. Thank you. [Applause.]
