MR DERBY-LEWIS
Mr Chairman, as I have stated, and Mr Bizos has referred to this press report, it was one economist who made that statement.  His statement was semi-supported by somebody from the University of Stellenbosch, but then that same person made a strange statement, Mr Chairman.  He said further,
"Until a new Government was in place and South Africans had a clear picture of the future, confidence would remain low.".
That confirms the point I was making, Mr Chairman, that it is not these incidents that caused a big hiccup, it is a general situation and here, according to him, the situation was that people would not settle down until there was a new Government and it was not so much the Hani assassination.  Then the further statement here, the Durban Regional Chamber of Business, Mr Chairman, said nothing about business confidence, it said that, 
"Rampages in Durban on Wednesday by ANC supporters were inexcusable.".
Then, Mr Chairman, the Southern Natal ANC Alliance said,
"Disciplinary steps would be taken against the unruly elements once they had been identified.".
Nothing to do with business confidence and I am submitting, Mr Chairman, that always under situations like this journalists use people to exaggerate the situation and if you look at these other statements that Mr Bizos is referring to, Mr Chairman, there are a number of repeats.  I did a quick spot check to see whether information connected in one clipping was, perhaps, also repeated in another clipping and that is so, Mr Chairman, and this is not the only section that this has been done.  There are other sections where they have used up to six statements regarding the same incident to prove their point or to try to prove their point.
