I was at the Zim conference last week and to see the relationships AP has built with the Zim officials is outstanding , i am super confident but lets see what unfolds as the announcements are made to the World. If we are 1 of the 2 then this is a company changer especially as AP says we can take money out of ZIM.
Tie this is with the Red Mercury deal and the community relationships we tick all the boxes......
