Hon Deputy Speaker, those members who have, out of choice, refused to be integrated into the SA National Defence Force cannot become a burden on the government if they are not within the system as we speak today.
With respect to members of former nonstatutory forces who were not integrated, the matter was brought to the attention of the relevant committee of Parliament some time ago and the circumstances under which they were left out of the process were presented to the Portfolio Committee on Defence. It was indicated that there were indeed such bona fide members of nonstatutory forces that were not integrated.
That cohort of former members of the nonstatutory forces has now actually been isolated for attention with respect to the consolidation of the CPR list in putting together the names of those who stand to benefit as military veterans. I thank you.
