That is correct. As a result of the reorganisation of the RDF, we have a very clear view - I still have to obtain the final figures - in respect of those who are active members and those who are no longer active. This is a very important issue. I anticipate that I will have final visibility in respect of this matter in a very short period. The likelihood is that we will then be recruiting to the RDF. I cannot provide a final number in this regard but I am of the view that we will bring in an influx of new people who will be committed to the RDF and who will actively engage in training. We have made financial provision in respect of this eventuality.
