Realistically, when does the Department envisage this happening? Every one of us is getting it from farmers, especially when there are those assessments on flowers and the co-operation project zones. When does the Department reckon that those farmers will be paid? It is my understanding that many of the low-lying farmers, which was the more simpler part of it, would be paid fairly well, whereas if assessments are to be done on the habitat, it is more complicated. The computer is obviously not able to do it. I do not know the reason. When does the Department reckon that farmers will be paid and all the problems sorted?
