Mr Ngonyama, could you please repeat your question, because I didn't get the first part thereof? However, let me first respond to the part I heard. We are not going to install machines in all the provincial Home Affairs offices. Instead, we are going to install a server, because all we need are details. We are going to make use of the services of the Government Printing Works to produce all the smart ID cards.
The maximum number of smart ID cards that can be produced - I think that is the first part of your question - during normal office hours is 10 000 per day. Therefore, many smart ID cards can be produced by working day and night. We hope that about 3 million smart ID cards can be produced annually. That is why we are saying it is going to take us six or seven months, working day and night, to be able to deliver the smart ID cards to all the people of South Africa.]
