USteenhuisen uzwakalise ukungeneliseki okukhulu, egxeka ukwabiwa kwezimali ezinkulu kangaka zokudla kwangaphakathi endizeni ngenkathi eveza izinselelo eziqhubekayo izakhamuzi ezibhekene nazo, ikakhulukazi ubunzima obubekezelelwa izingane. Ukubize ngokusetshenziswa budedengu okukhulu kwezinsiza, egxeka uhulumeni okubonakala sengathi akanandaba nemizabalazo yezakhamizi.
