Chairperson, let me also just ascertain from the Minister as to whether ... were there any other cases, not necessarily on Mr Kholoane, of ambassadors that were found to have warranted an investigation? Particularly with regard to looking into an option of the withdrawal of the security clearance as an option.
I think this point is important given the fact that the redefined Chapter 7 of the National Development Plan which speaks to our international relations and also Priority 8 in the Medium-Term Strategic Framework, MTSF, speaks about revitalising our international spending both in the African continent because our entry to global politics is through Africa. So, these allegations have an impact on our spending in the global world. Thank you, hon Deputy Minister.
The DEPUTY MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION (Ms K
C Mashego-Dlamini): Chairperson, well, allegations will always be allegations for everyone but the department is trying its best to make sure that every cloud that is upon any other ambassador around the world or around the countries is sorted out and it is clarified. But in this one - like I said - we need to make sure that we wait for the processes that are going on. So, we also waiting for the
processes but I still say that any human being with a conscience can take a right decision at the right time. Thank you.
