Hon Speaker, I will consider the remaining 154 applications for pardon at the time that I consider the other applications made in terms of the special dispensation process. This will be done once effect is given to the decision of the Constitutional Court in the matter of Ryan Albutt and Others v the President and Others. The applicants will be informed of my decision in due course.
The number of applicants is, of course, very long. The party-political affiliations have been categorised as follows: ANC, 53; Afrikaanse Weerstandsbeweging, 13; Azapo, 2; Bophuthatswana Defence Force, 2; Civic Association, 1; Former South African Police, 5; FF Plus, 3; IFP, 21; PAC, 34; Simunye in Christ Organisation, 1; UDM, 11; and those not affiliated, 3. A more detailed list is available, but may be too lengthy a response for this oral answer. However, the balance is as I have put here.
The majority of the prisoners who have applied are ANC members, and all others are small numbers. Surely, the ANC should be making more noise and asking more questions on this question, but I think the ANC understands the procedure. [Applause.]
