[00:00:00]Looking at the fine, Gareth, I've been digging and it's really hard to figure out how much FlySafair makes, but just to give you maybe just a sense of the scale of airlines, SAA reported for the 2024-25 financial year revenue of 8.8 billion rand. With a B. With a B. So, FlySafair is much bigger than SAA in South Africa, but of course SAA has a few international flights. But, we're looking at a very big number.

[00:00:32]But, when it does get into gear, yes, the the commission finds people. All right, so that is what FlySafair is facing, but it does say that it's in line with the law, global laws, and this will be fought out essentially at the National Consumer Tribunal, and we'll watch that closely. But, right now it is facing a potential 10% fine, 10% of its turnover.
