Deputy Speaker, hon Minister, we note that Zimbabwe, of course contrary to the perception of some in the House, is not the 10th province of South Africa, but an independent sovereign state, and that compensation, if any, will indeed logically take place in accordance with Zimbabwe's own laws.
Now Minister, we know that the department has been engaged for quite some time with the establishment of the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, or Bippa. Could you perhaps inform the House about the progress that has been made in this regard? Thank you.
