Madam Speaker, chairperson Yunus Carrim referred to the "rooi gevaar", but here is the "Swart gevaar" standing before him. So, if you would allow me a few words.
The ACDP is on record as supporting model 1. We believe that the amendments proposed by Dr Delport support that model which has a strong emphasis on the independence of the unit. The committee accepted the principle of independence for the new unit. In our view, the new unit does not have the required independence that the Scorpions had. The head, as it was pointed out, would be a line function of the commissioner who also controls the budget. We are particularly concerned about that aspect of independence.
In particular, one of the issues we raised related to the interim transitional period and the fact that, with the Fidentia case, for example, 73 000 claimants are going to suffer almost irreparable damage. These are some of the aspects we are very concerned about and we believe that one should have looked a bit closer at this legislation. For that purpose, we will support these amendments. Thank you.
