Deputy Speaker, hon Minister and hon members, it was a privilege to have been invited to render my free services to the interim commission. A special word of thanks goes to my fellow commissioners, and our chairperson Judge Bosielo in particular, for his leadership in the past year. May this report, when it is tabled here, serve as the basis upon which to build a turnaround strategy for the S A National Defence Force, SANDF to restore its image and dignity. This will allow the SANDF to recapture lost ground.
Finally, once this report is adopted, one envisions a process of the Department of Defence, DoD, holding a bosberaad to discuss the report. Out of that we hope that there will be a clear action plan determining who will do what and according to what deadlines. I thank you. [Applause.]
