Deputy Speaker, I agree with Prof Friedman. In fact, it is a challenge to South Africa. We are inviting them to enter into this national dialogue because the issues of the judiciary are so important. They play a very critical role in advancing the ideals that the Deputy President indicated in our Constitution.
All those who want to participate, even the DA, are being called upon to express their views in this document. I agree that Prof Friedman is correct. We are going to see a dialogue in South Africa in which people should express views about the judiciary, in as much as they express views about the legislature and the executive.
On the issue of the creation of the Office of the Chief Justice, it is a further affirmation of our deep commitment in creating institutional independence of the judiciary, unlike what is happening at the present moment where some of the functions are being handled by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. So that, as I have indicated, is the first step towards this institutional independence of the judiciary. Thank you.
