I think there is a relationship between Farmers Choice and Lonrho Agri-Business. At the moment, there are two companies, which are in competition in the big industry.

But this amendment serves no purpose completely. Completely! That is why I was shocked to hear that my friend is supporting the Mover of this Motion, who just wants to appear to be opposing. This is a Motion which is trying to flex a muscle. Let us face it. It serves no purpose except flexing a muscle. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: You do not have any muscles to flex! view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us go back to serious issues. The President has given consent to this figure.
