Now South Africa mustn’t hold its breath, this is a long drawn out process because they now going to count legal arguments coming from the Gupta’s side and counted from South Africa, so it’s a long court process which must now pick off and which is why I say why we must not hold their breath but for media positive is that, something has happened in terms of having them at least being arrested.
