Thank you, Deputy Speaker. Minister, all of us embrace the strategic importance of developing trade and agricultural opportunities and relations in Africa. We are also aware of the current Economic Partnership Agreement, EPA-driven threats to the existence of both Sacu and SADC as economic development zones, which might in the process defeat the objectives of South Africa's involvement in Nepad and SADC.
Could you please qualify and quantify for us the current trade benefits for the South African economy derived from intra-Africa and intra-SADC trade? Also, could you please give specific reference to the business sectors and product categories that are affected? Thank you.
