South Africans vote for political parties precisely so that their voices can be heard, but this is a flagrant violation of the rights of ordinary citizens. It does not reflect the true legislative intent of the committee, and could, potentially, result in the adoption of a Bill - and eventually, an Act of Parliament - which does not reflect the will of the people, as expressed through the actions and decisions of their democratically elected representatives. The Bill was also incorrectly tagged but the state legal advisers were adamant that it was correct.
