Mr. Paul Benson:
Yes, I can confirm that the Department met the local authorities and discussed the matter. We have not met the consortium, although it has written to the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, expressing its concern and looking for a meeting. We obviously have sight of that and a response is being prepared. It has not yet been decided whether a meeting will take place or not, but the request is in and is being considered.
