1.     UTILITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
       PROGRESS REPORT ON MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION
       LOSSES
       (From the Executive Committee: 10 June 2019)

1.     PURPOSE

       The purpose of the report is to provide progress report on the electricity distribution
       losses (non-technical and technical losses), and the 2018/19 financial year
       implementation plan in line with five-year strategy to deal with the electricity
       distribution losses across the City’s Regions.

2.     STRATEGIC PILLARS

       The Strategic Pillar to be addressed:

       Pillar 3: A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment.

       Priority 11: Delivering high quality services.

       A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment.

       Priority 11: Delivering high quality services.

3.     BACKGROUND

       The City of Tshwane electricity distribution losses have been in the increase for the
       past 5 financial years with an exception of a slight decrease in 2017/18. The electricity
       losses are the results of technical and non-technical losses which are termed
       distribution losses (see figure 1 below). The technical losses are attributed to the
       inherent network losses which are the results of electricity transmission and
       distribution from the point of supply to the point of consumption (see figure 2). As
       noted in figure 2, the electrical equipment such as transformers, cables, power lines,
       switchgears, metering equipment, etc. contribute significantly to the technical losses.

       Figure1: Distribution losses (source: www.sapub.org)

       Figure 2: Technical Losses illustration (source: www.pinterest.com)

       However, the major challenge of the distribution losses remains non-technical losses
       which are attributed to administrative errors, illegal connection, professional theft of

     electricity, tampering with the metering devises, unmetered connections, and
     employees’ fraudulent conduct and under billing/metering of the connected loads.
     The non-technical losses have accounted between 7 to 13% of the total expected
     revenue in the past 5 financial years. The non-technical losses have been estimated
     to be R650 million annually.

     The electricity losses have been increasing in the past five financial years with only
     an exception of a slight decrease in 2017/18. In emphasizing the specifics on the
     losses, the 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/18 financial years recorded 19.2%,
     20.58% and 19.75% respectively. Figure 3 indicates the five-year electricity losses.
     The base electricity losses for 2018/19 FY is 19.75%.

     Figure 3: Historical Energy losses for the past financial years.

4.   DISCUSSION

     Unaccounted Electricity (Distribution Losses) losses are made of technical and non-
     technical losses. These losses are made of the difference between electricity
     purchased inclusive of own generation (kWh) and electricity sold (kWh).

     Technical losses is inherent to the electricity distribution infrastructure and it is
     normally capital-intensive to minimise and based on the number of transformers,
     kilometres of distribution of cables and lines, class accuracy of our meters (STS
     compliance) and other network connected equipments to Tshwane electrical network
     is fixed at 7%.

     Non-technical losses (commercial losses) are mainly the result of administrative and
     technical errors, negligence, professional theft of electricity, tampering with meters,
     under-billing, unmetered connections incorrect settings of HV consumptions
     instruments like Current Transformers (CTs) and Voltage Transformers (CTs) ratios
     and illegal connections.

     Electricity distribution losses are also defined as 'unaccounted for electricity’ or
     commercial losses plus technical losses and are determined as indicated in the Table
     A below:

          The City purchase its electricity through eleven measured in-feed Stations from
          Eskom and generate its own power from the two Power Stations. Then the power get
          evacuated or transported to over 88 Substations (Primary and Secondary
          Substations), resulting in less Electricity at the point of sales. Based on the approved
          tariffs (Time of Use) and flat rates for the different customers, allocate the energy
          purchased and compare it with what is on SAP System and Suprema for sales. Hence
          the interdependence between Group Finance and Utility Services.

          In addressing the non-technical losses that have been on the rise for the past financial
          years, the Energy and Electricity Divisions identified several causes (drivers) of the
          losses. The programme of action to curb these losses is put in place and executed
          against the target set. This 2018/19 implementation plan is revised in line with
          allocated budget and IDP targets. The envisage reduction is to reduce the losses
          from 19.75% to a target of 16% by the financial year end. Table B below indicates a
          progress to date.

 4.2      DISTRIBUTION LOSSES PROGRESS TO DATE

          The analysis shows that the electricity distribution losses during the month of July are
          high as on 50% of the purchased energy (kWh) is sold. (COT period 13 reconciliation
          include energy purchased during that month).

          The losses as indicated has been on decline in the past 3 years, however above the
          norms.

          The Network losses due to old infrastructure and vast network are standardised at
          7% (which is within regulatory tolerance based on the age of network and
          infrastructures.

          Own consumptions and streetlights (248 000) burning on average for 10hrs and
          based on Eskom streetlight and highmasts lights (2000) and traffic signals
          intersections (1022) account for 3% of energy consumption but not paid for.
          Therefore, 10% of Non-Revenue Energy is accounted for energy. The focus of the
          Department is to address the Unaccounted for Energy (non-technical or commercial
          losses), which is standing at 12.27% by end of Quarter 3 of 2018/19 as per
          programme in Table B above.

                                   The above graph, Figure 4 indicates the impact of a focused programme on
                                   unaccounted for energy could yield, particularly with the conventions of every
                                   customer into prepaid and auditing of network performance.

                                   For technical losses, the focus of the Department is the replacement of obsolete and
                                   non-function equipments in substations, including the rollout of power quality meters
                                   at 10 infeed substations, 67 primary substation and 7 secondary substation. Through
                                   this intervention, COT will be able to do load balancing to avoid grid collapse.

                                   The complete replacement of 13000 PEU/TUMS meters will add impetus to the
                                   efforts to reverse the losses due to administrative and professional theft of electricity.
                                   To date a total of 3200 meters have been replaced.

      electricity losses to 10% by 2020/21 financial year end. The year to date unaccounted
      for energy (non-technical losses) are 12.27% (Q3). The 2018/19 implementation plan
      is designed to reduce the electricity losses from 19.75% to 16% (Inclusive of technical
      and non-technical) by the end of the 2018/19 financial year based on the benchmark
      exercise with peer Metros.

2.   ENVIRONMENTAL AND AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
     (WASTE MANAGEMENT)
     OPERATING MODEL FOR WASTE STORAGE AND SORTING FACILITY FOR ALL
     THE REGIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF TSHWANE
     (From the Executive Committee: 24 June 2019)

1.   PURPOSE

     The purpose of the report is to present and request the approval of the City waste
     storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play
     as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in
     order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City.

2.   STRATEGIC PILLARS

     This report seeks to address the following strategic pillar(s), namely:

     Strategic Pillar 1: A City that facilitates economic growth and job creation; and

     Strategic Pillar 2: A City that cares for residents and promotes exclusivity.

     The City of Tshwane’s vision 2030 commits to developing and implementing a waste
     management operating model that is geared towards promoting waste minimization
     as well as hazardous and industrial waste management. Tshwane Vision strategic
     actions include waste management infrastructure investment separation at source
     recycling. It is within this background that this model seeks to promote, encourage,
     and shift all waste related activities to a system that follows the principles of ‘cradle
     to grave approach’. This is also outlined in the City of Tshwane’s Strategic Framework
     on Green economy.

3.   BACKGROUND

     City of Tshwane is responsible for 28 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to Green House
     Gas Emission (GHG) Inventory in 2014/15. Waste Sector is the second which
     contributes to at least 39% after Energy sector. It is therefore, compelling for the City
     to implement aggressive interventions which will assist in reducing the carbon
     emissions. Investment in the recycling facilities and infrastructure is identified as one
     of the key measures to enhance the program of diverting waste from the landfill sites.

     Section 152 (1) (d) of the Constitution of the Republic (Act 108 of 1996), stipulates
     that local government should promote a safe and healthy environment. The National
     Environmental Management Waste Act, which came into effect on 1 July 2010 (Act
     No.59 of 2008), requires that waste minimisation be considered by municipalities in
     addition to the traditional municipal waste management services such as cleaning,
     collection and disposal to landfill. One of the game changing actions articulated in the
     City’s Vision is waste minimization. It is projected that by 2020, the City will enjoy the
14

     benefits of waste minimization. However, the journey of igniting excellence on the
     matter starts now.

4.   DISCUSSION

     A waste sorting facility is where informal recyclers in the in the city would have access
     to on a daily basis to store and sort recyclable waste. It is anticipated that the informal
     recyclers would be able to securely store their waste over-night as opposed to leave
     it unattended in the streets across the City. This facility would address the problem
     of informal recyclers sorting waste in an uncoordinated manner across the City.

     South African waste management, and to be specific, City of Tshwane Metropolitan
     municipality seeks to adopt a new and more sustainable policy based paradigm,
     where dependency on landfilling is reduced and energy generation, recycling,
     composting , reuse and reduction are encouraged. Informal waste reclaimers operate
     in an unregulated world of day to day personal injury; poor health and exploitation are
     commonplace. It is estimated that there are more than 150 000 reclaimers estimated
     to be active in the South African integrated waste system (IWS), working and parallel
     to the formal waste management system. The approval of this proposed model will
     assist in enhancing and improving the waste management systems of the City, whilst
     also empowering, eradicating poverty and creating green sustainable jobs in a
     coordinated manner.

5.   INTEGRATED RECYCLING PROGRAM APPROACH

     There is a need for an increase in environmental awareness as well as a shift to
     promote sustainable waste management approaches that will solely focus on
     “reduce, re-use and recycling”. The City is therefore forging to extend their waste
     management systems in order to include recycling and informal reclaimers within
     their waste management practices.
15

      It is a fact that South African municipalities face multiple challenges, such as, rapid
      population growth, urbanization, lack of capital finance for new infrastructure and
      equipment, lack of public awareness and buy-in into new approaches, conflicting
      interests between numerous operators, cooperatives and informal reclaimers.
      Irrespective of the challenges highlighted above the City of Tshwane is striving to
      meet the goals set in the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS), whilst also
      shifting their waste management practices towards multi-dimensional approach.

      This requires serious consideration of how existing waste management systems and
      practices can be changed and improved. Waste management systems are often
      complex, and not necessarily technologically, but in terms of social and economic
      dimensions. It is a fact that working inside the system comprises of diverse actors
      and stakeholders, and of these are playing different roles, especially because they
      are competing for the recyclable materials in the waste stream.

      There is a need for an integrated new management system to shape the way in which
      waste materials are managed. Countries such as Costa Rica, Brazil, Philippines,
      India and Singapore have a clear view of available integration models and South
      African government and City of Tshwane can adopt these case studies, lessons and
      integration strategies from the above mentioned countries.

      Upon completing construction of the facility, the following elements for
      operationalizing the centres need to be implemented:

6.2   COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: GROUP LEGAL AND SECRETARIAT
      SERVICES

      The purpose of this report is to present and request the approval on City waste
      storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play
      as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in
      order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City.

      Section 152 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (hereafter
      referred to as the (Constitution) places an obligation on the Local Government to
      promote social and economic development and to promote a safe and healthy
      environment, and the municipality must strive within its financial and administrative
      constraints to achieve these objectives.
19

      In terms of Section 11 (3) (a) (l) & (n) of the Local Government: Municipal Systems
      Act, 2000 (Act No. 32 of 2000) (hereafter referred to as the “MSA”), a municipality
      exercises its legislative or executive authority by developing and adopting policies,
      plans, strategies and programs, including setting of targets for delivery, promoting a
      safe and healthy environment and doing anything else within its legislative and
      executive competence.

      appropriated for the different votes in an approved budget.

      Having taken regard to the aforesaid and with specific reference to the contents of
      the report, Group Legal Services Department support the approval of the report and
      the recommendations.

6.3   COMMENTS OF THE GROUP HEAD: GROUP HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

      The purpose of the report is to seek approval on the City waste storage and sorting
      facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play as a catalyst through
      integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in order to achieve waste
      separation and minimisation across the City.

      Though the report indicated that it does not have Human Resource Implications, it
      however have an implication on the operating hours of the employees due to the shift
      system as well as the functions/duties recommended in the report.

      Upon completing construction of the facility; request form for assistance with the
      following must be submitted to Group Human Capital Department:

      •   Operating hours to accommodate shift system; and

      •   Functions in terms of managing the operational of the model.

      The Group Human Capital Department takes cognisance of the report and support
      the approval of the recommendations thereof.

6.4   COMMENTS OF           THE    GROUP      HEAD:     REGIONAL       OPERATIONS        AND
      COORDINATION

      The purpose of the report is, 'to present and request the approval on City waste
      storage and sorting facility operating model for all the seven Regions, which will play
      as a catalyst through integration and collaboration with all the key stakeholders in
      order to achieve waste separation and minimization across the City'.

      ROC takes cognisance of the contents of the report.

      Waste minimization is key to ensuring a cleaner environmental sustainability. Waste
      storage and sorting facilities will assist in ensuring that waste is minimised through
      recycling.
20

      The operational model will also ensure that informal recyclers are formalised. This is
      an important milestone in the operational model to ensure that the vulnerable citizens
      of the City are brought into the mainstream economy.

      Regions will also benefit considering that the City is running out of space for current
      landfill sites to accommodate endless waste.

      It is prudent that the waste division involve Regions from the onset of creating the
      facilities and when rolling out the operational model.

      Considering the envisaged benefits to be accrued by the creation of the storage and
      sorting facilities across Regions, and benefits to be realised by the informal recyclers,
      ROC supports the report, its objectives and recommendations.

3.   COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
     REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
     SOUTH AFRICAN PRECISION SPORT SHOOTING FEDERATION (SAPSSF) FOR
     THE HOSTING OF THE 2019 WORLD RIMFIRE AND AIR RIFLE BENCHREST
     SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIPS
     (From the Special Executive Committee: 3 June 2019)

1.   PURPOSE

     The purpose of the report is to request for approval to enter into a partnership with
     the South African Precision Sport Shooting Federation for the hosting of the 2019
     World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Shooting Championships that will take place
     during the last week of July and the first week of August.

2.   STRATEGIC PILLARS

     Strategic Pillar 1: A City that facilitates economic growth and job creation; and

     Strategic Pillar 2: A City that cares for residents and promotes inclusivity.

3.   BACKGROUND

     The SAPSSF (South African Precision Sport Shooting Federation) is an accredited
     Sport Shooting Federation with SAPS (South African Police Service) and is affiliated
     to SASSCO (South African Sport Shooting Confederation) which in turn is affiliated
     to SASCOC (South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee). The
     SAPSSF is a member of WRABF (World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Federation)
     which is the international governing body for Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest shooting.

     In April 2018, the Department received a request from the SAPSSF for the City to
     partner with them in hosting the 2019 World Rimfire and Air Rifle Benchrest Shooting
     Championships. This follows the application the Federation made to South African
     Confederation and Olympic Committee (SACOC) which was duly approved. The
     Competition will be held at the Krokodilspruit Shooting Range from the last week of
     July until the first week of August 2019.

     Pursuant to the request, the Department engaged with the representatives of the
     Federation to establish all the necessary facts about the event and what the
     expectations are from the City. Upon the establishment of all the facts, the
     Department was satisfied with the information provided and the fact that the event
     does resonate with the City’s broader strategic objectives and one five focus areas
     that will create economic growth which is labour absorbing, will provide many more
     residents with new employment opportunities and further the development. The
     hosting of the event also responds to the objective of creating a caring and inclusive
     City that reflects our heritage through sporting events that embraces our shared
     heritage, thus building a socially cohesive and integrated communities.
23

4.   DISCUSSION

     The World Championship Competition is held every 4 years and is hosted by a
     member country. The World Cup and European Cup events are also hosted every
     4 years in the middle year between World Championships. The international
     competition is thus held every 2nd year.

     Previous hosting countries were USA, Czech Republic, Italy, Australia and Slovenia.
     South Africa made a bid during 2011 to host the 2019 World Championships in South
     Africa and the bid was accepted in 2015. South Africa is one of the countries with the
     most competitive Rimfire and Air Rifle benchrest shooters in the World.

     At the 2017 World Cup competition that was held in Progersko, Slovenia, South Africa
     performed well in the Air Rifle division as the Junior Proteas won Silver and Bronze
     medals in the light varmint class, and Gold in heavy varmint. The Senior Proteas also
     excelled in Air Rifle heavy varmint winning Gold (world record score of 747/750 by
     Billy Chamberlain) and Silver, with six Protea shooters finishing among the top ten.

     The SA teams, consisting of three members, won Gold and Silver, with the C team
     placed seventh out of 31 teams in heavy varmint. South Africa has several shooting
     ranges where bench rest is practised. However only two ranges meet the
     international requirements regarding size and they are the Milnerton Range in Cape
     Town and the Krokodilspruit Shooting Range in Pta.

     Due to the fact that most member countries are based in Europe, the competition is
     always held during the last week of July and the first week of August. This coincides
     with the European summer holidays. Weather conditions during July and August are
     not favourable in Cape Town, therefore the organising committee decided to host the
     competition at the Krokodilspruit Shooting range in Pretoria.

     Hosting a World Championships event requires funding to make it a success. The
     one major advantage that the City has is an established Shooting Range with proper
     infrastructure readily available.

     To ensure the successful hosting of the event, the City has to be involved in
     supporting and committing some funds towards the required logistics of hosting such
     an event. The only way the City can be able to assist in this regard as per the
     prescripts of the MFMA would be to enter into a partnership or sponsorship
     agreement with the organizers of the competition. The agreement will detail in full the
     commitment of the City and the specific responsibilities of all the parties to the
     agreement.

     In line with the Comments of CSOP and that of the COO the benefits accruing to the
     City in supporting the championships are outlined as follows; namely:

     •   The City's Logo will be included in all marketing and public material thereby
         enhancing the image of the City both nationally and internationally;

     •   The MMC will deliver a key note address and also handover prizes at the end of
         the event;

     •   Local small businesses will be given a platform to display and sell their products
         which includes arts and craft and sport merchandise;
24

        •   The hospitality industry will benefit immensely from hotel accommodation, shuttle
            services, food etc.;

        •   Temporary jobs and opportunities for SMMEs e.g. Casual cleaning staff, target
            crew for changing of targets, catering and provision of lunch to participants and
            supports on the shooting range and provision of transport;

        •   Over a 1 000 spectators from various cities in South Africa to attend the event;

        •   200 participants from various countries to visit Tshwane; and

        •   10% of participants (about 20) will stay longer and the Tourism Division will make
            available destination information packs for tourists to visit Tshwane tourism
            attractions.

4.    CITY STRATEGY AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE DEPARTMENT
      CITY OF TSHWANE (COT) STATUS UPDATE ON THE DEPARTMENTAL
      MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
      (From the Executive Committee: 24 June 2019)

1.    PURPOSE

      The purpose of the report is to provide a status update on the implementation of
      departmental Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and departmental
      Memorandums of Agreement (MoAs) as at 31 March 2019.

2.    STRATEGIC PILLARS

2.1   A City that delivers excellent services and protects the environment; and

2.2   A City that is open, honest and responsive.

3.    BACKGROUND

      The new vision of the City of Tshwane capitalises on Tshwane’s position as South
      Africa’s capital of opportunity and on the approach that is needed to focus on
      transforming the city’s social and economic spheres.

      The City of Tshwane views partnerships as critical in advancing growth and
      development. In terms of the provisions of Section 41(1)(h) of the Constitution of the
      Republic of South Africa, 1996, all spheres of government and all organs of state in
      each sphere must cooperate with one another in mutual trust and good faith by
      fostering friendly relations; assist and support one another; inform one another of,
      and consult one another on, matters of common interest; coordinate their actions and
      legislation with one another; adhere to agreed procedures; and avoid legal actions
      against one another.

      Furthermore, Section 153 of the Constitution provides that a municipality must
      structure and manage its administration as well as budgeting and planning processes
      to give priority to the needs of the local community, and to promote the social and
      economic development of the community. The power to approve and to enter into an
      MoU or MoA with the private sector and the organs of state has been sub-delegated
      to the City Manager by the Mayoral Committee on condition that the cost implications
      for the City of Tshwane does not exceed R5 million per agreement and, further, that
      the City Manager reports back on all agreements on a quarterly basis.

4.    DISCUSSION

      City Strategy and Organisational Performance (CSOP) is the custodian of all City of
      Tshwane MoUs and MoAs. Its Strategic Relations Coordination Division is tasked to
      focus on MoUs and MoAs, to rationalise the City’s establishment of MoUs and MoAs,
      determine the value of some of the existing MoUs and MoAs that the City has
28

      committed to as well as ensure the establishment, coordination and proper
      management of all MoUs and MoAs.

      Departments and entities can contact CSOP to establish and coordinate MoUs and
      MoAs with stakeholders. CSOP must provide guidelines and a standard operating
      procedure for the establishment of MoUs and MoAs and ensure that departments
      enter into MoUs and MoAs without deviating from the supply chain process.

4.1   Progress on implementation of MoUs and MoAs

      In the previous financial year all departments and entities were required to complete
      and submit progress reports on the status of MoUs and MoAs. Consequently, this
      report sets out progress with the implementation of MoUs and MoAs by the City of
      Tshwane in the financial year concerned. However, the following challenges are still
      experienced with the submission of MoUs and MoAs by departments:

      •   Reporting timelines still not adhered by some departments;
      •   There are still some departments that do not forward the signed agreements to
          CSOP for noting but there has been some effort made by other department in this
          regard;
      •   Some agreements are not signed or vetted by the legal, this is slightly improving
          as departments have been constantly engaging CSOP seeking advice this
          process;
      •   No indication of the intention to renew expired agreements; and
      •   Guiding templates populated but with no adequate and complete information.

      The following departments have existing MoUs and MoAs with strategic partners,
      including academic partners:

      o Environment and Agriculture Management;

      o Economic Development and Spatial Planning;

      o City Sustainability Unit;

      o City Strategy and Organisational Performance;

      o Health and Social Development;

      o Emergency Services;

      o Roads and Transport;

      o Shared Services;

      o Community and Social Development Services;

      o Housing and Human Settlements; and

      o Human Capital Management.
29

4.2   INTERVENTIONS

      All MoUs and MoAs ought to be recorded with CSOP's Strategic Relations
      Coordination Division once the covering report has been approved by the Mayoral
      Committee and after the MoU or MoA has been signed by the City Manager. All MoUs
      and MoAs must be vetted by the Contract Management Division of Legal and
      Secretariat Services. Legal Services must also forward policy guidelines and a MoU
      template to all departments, or departments should contact CSOP for guidance. A
      standard operating procedure (SOP) on MoUs and MoAs must be developed by
      CSOP and shared with all departments and entities.

      Each department must submit a quarterly report on progress with the implementation
      of MoUs and MoAs to the Strategic Relations Coordination Division, who will
      consolidate the information and produce a conclusive report to be presented to the
      Executive Committee or Mayoral Committee on a quarterly basis. CSOP and Legal
      Services must do short-term and long-term intervention.

4.2.1 Short-term intervention

      Short-term intervention is aimed at mainly those departments who have not finalised
      progress reports on the implementation of plans. The intervention is looking at
      assisting in data cleaning, making sure that the lists (MoU/MoA database) are
      complete and contain all the required information for preparing a conclusive and
      consolidated database. If senior departmental managers directly intervene to ensure
      that the required information on MoUs and MoAs is provided to CSOP, complete and
      relevant information can be shared throughout the organisation.

4.2.2 Long-term intervention

      Group Legal to assist CSOP and provide a summary of all signed agreements on a
      monthly basis.

      MoU's and MoA's. The City enters into partnerships in order to improve service
      delivery capacity and create conditions for social upliftment and economic growth,
      therefore, it is imperative that the City's agreements (MoU and MoA's) are properly
      established, implemented, monitored correctly and are beneficial to the City. All
      departments are required to cooperate by reporting on agreements established as
      well as the projects flowing from the agreements. The efficient coordination and
      monitoring of these agreements will promote excellent service provision,
      development and innovation in the City.
