Deputy Speaker, I don't agree with the hon member's assertion. There is nothing in the document that suggests that we want to encroach on the independence of the judiciary. The track record of the ANC government since 1994 affirms the fact that we are the ones that respect the independence of the judiciary more than other people in this House.
As we speak, President Zuma is the first President of the Republic to sign a proclamation to create the Office of the Chief Justice as a step towards reaffirming the institutional independence of the judiciary. If we were inclined to encroach on this independence, why would we go about such fundamental transformation of the judiciary in South Africa? So, that is why I'm saying that you must read the document without being influenced by party politics to gain cheap votes from the electorate. [Applause.]
