Hi s22
Sorry this has taken so long but I have been caught up with work on s22
 I am expecting to have a draft of the
assessment report within a week for your comment. It is nearly there but needs thorough
edit and attention on the recommendations/conclusions. I will let you know as soon as it is
ready. We are intending that the cabinet submission to the SA Govt will be ready for our
Minister’s signature in mid Nov with a cabinet decision before xmas.
 
Please let me know if there are any questions you have.
 
Regards
