Speaker and the hon member of the National Assembly, a Green Paper is a tentative government report and consultation document of policy proposals for debate and discussion. It is the first step in changing the law, which the public is always informed about. Other papers with different colours then follow. That is what educated people told me, Gatsheni! [Clan name.] [Laughter.]
The general public was informed about the paper. If your community has not heard anything about it, I will ask the Minister to do it. The aim of informing the public about it is to initiate discussions to solve problems at hand. We have been discussing the issue for a long time and we even made decisions about it. We even devised the land redistribution programme.
We have already explained that those programmes proved to be unsuccessful; that is why we are discussing the issue again, as a nation. We have not forgotten about the bloodshed for possession of the land and we do not want it to happen again. Our aim is to follow policies of our Constitution to solve this problem. Thank you, Speaker. [Applause.]]
