Hon Minister, it is true that we all gave and took whilst we negotiated, but there are some things that are utterly fundamental to this Constitution. And it is news to me what the hon Ngoako says, that it was a substantive and fundamental concession on the part of the ANC to accept the separation of powers. Is that your position? Is that the position of the Cabinet?
Moreover, later in the same piece he describes as a fatal concession the desire of the liberation movement to create a society bereft of any form of discrimination, that is, the right to equality. Was the Bill of Rights therefore also a concession? Is that the position of the Ministry and of the Cabinet? [Applause.]
