This is because that region represents about 60 per cent of our business; and the business has really been affected by the problems.

“Another major challenge that has been affecting the business is the problem of piracy, which remains the greatest threat to our industry and we hope that this challenge is addressed as it would go a long way to improve the lot of the business.”
