Hon Chairperson, the question is once again from the hon Lees. He would like to know if we have received any requests to send warships into the seas near or around the vicinity of Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania. If not, why was the request turned down, and so forth. I have been informed that the government has received a request from Tanzania through the Department of International Relations and Co-operation, and that it has been forwarded to the Department of Defence. The matter has subsequently been referred to the Acting Chief of the SA National Defence Force so that he may advise the Minister, and the Minister may advise the Cabinet. Currently the matter is under consideration.
