Hon Chair, a categorical "no" to that last question. With regard to the first two questions about the environment and tourism, we should make it clear that we will further consult with the people there on this matter, and it involves a variety of communities, ranging from Limpopo to Mpumalanga as the hon member knows.
We want to assure them that government will not do anything without having consulted them to the full. Now that we understand that they are not happy, we have to go back to them and discuss it, and then make sure that Cabinet is well aware of the implications of its decisions.
Secondly, it is very important to note that those communities are not saying they want to walk into that Kruger National Park and grab it. They are saying there is a question that must be answered by government - this was our land. That's what people are saying, "This was our land and we want that to be recognised by the government and acknowledged." The form of that recognition and acknowledgement is what must be debated with the people. In our view and our understanding of what people are saying, there is no threat whatsoever to the environment and tourism in terms of the Kruger National Park. Thank you.
