Thank you, hon member. The Makuleke arrangement is a leaseback agreement to a private company that comprises a section of the Kruger National Park, and that has its own problems. As government is trying to attend to those problems, it was felt that this is not a model to be replicated. A big difference here is that the Makuleke community is one community, whereas the others were diverse communities. It would have meant that if we went by the Makuleke model, the park itself would cease to be a national park.
