RE:Here's what I thinkSorry, correction:
HZP and HZT both were not seen as necessary for South Africa. What these guys wanted was Chinese control of ELR, and then let the company get taken out by established player. Then if Chinese control of ELR is to sell into Chinese market, that is fine.... the company that takes a cut of these profits is established SA player; not fresh blood such as HZT or HZP.
