February 2019. When it first met, it agreed on the programme of work, which included the briefing by legal services on the legislative process and the High Court application by Afriforum.
Members, this was necessary because as you know, Afriforum challenged the tabling of the report. So, the court dealt with the interdict but it had not dealt with the substantive matter of the report, which is still in the courts as we speak.
We also took a briefing on the essence of the Constitutional Review Committee - what where actually the substantive issues that emerged in that Constitutional Review Committee? We agreed that we will take briefings by identified experts and draft a policy framework that would inform the drafting of the committee Bill.
We also agreed that because of its nature, this Bill will have to also serve in the National House of Traditional Leaders as well as provincial legislatures.
