Uthe ukuqoqwa kwentela ephezulu kanye nokusetshenziswa kancane kuzokhokhela umthethosivivinywa, ngakho ngeke uqede isabelomali sikazwelonke.
UGodongwana uthe uhulumeni uzophinde alungise intela kaphethiloli nodizili ngoNhlaba ukuze kusizakale abathenga uphethiloli kwamanye amazwe ukukhokhela izindleko zabo.
I-akhawunti ye-slate ikhokhela abathenga kwamanye amazwe umehluko phakathi kwentengo kaphethiloli elawulwayo kanye nalokho abakukhokhayo ngempela. I-slate levy iqala lapho le akhawunti iwela ngaphezu kuka-R500 million ngokubomvu.

Ukwenyuka kwentengo kaphethiloli nodizili okungapheli kubangela ukwesabela ukuthi izindleko zokuphila zizokwenyuka. Lokhu kungaphoqa inzalo ephakeme kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika.
