Mr President, it appears that you are being ambushed by the Koornhofs, but I will not be rude to you today. It's a very interesting initiative for South Africa to join the so called Bric countries. From Cope's side, I would just wish for all the best.
Firstly, I would like to know if you envisage this to happen? Secondly, in view of the fact that most of the countries that you have visited are normally keen only to obtain our raw materials or minerals, have any agreements been reached with these countries? Such agreements should be to outsource any manufacturing to South Africa, but in such a way that they do not come here bringing their own workforce and skills, but that they employ South Africans and make use of our skills.
