Afternoon drive with John Matham is brought to you by Telkom Business. Possible begins here on Cape Talk. Cape Talk. Rapid fire. Questions this afternoon from Pitt in van Riebeckshof, but up first it's Francois in Somerset West. Hello, Francois. What is your question? Hi, John. How are you? I'm good. What's your question?
