[ftisa-discuss] SA votes NO

[Bob Jolliffe]

Greetings all

Just heard that SABS put through the reaffirmation of its "DISAPPROVE" position to ISO an hour ago.  To everyone who was involved, pat yourselves on the back with a shovel and go off and have a beer.  Preferably a home-made, unpasteurized, unfiltered healthy one (or two).  I have also (unofficially) heard good news trickling in from elsewhere on the content.  Seems Kenya and Nigeria will move from "Approve" to "Abstain".

Also to those of you who have put through messages of support to Minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi on her Idlelo speech, I can report that it is having a galvanizing effect.  She is born again ..

Cheers
Bob
