Mr Speaker, hon members, the matter of filling the vacancies that has arisen at the SA Human Rights Commission should have been relative. Unfortunately, the committee discovered after it had conducted interviews and supported the nomination of Adv Mpumlwana that there were issues which had not been brought to its attention. The committee was obliged to reconsider the matter and, after careful consideration, the committee has withdrawn its support for that nominee.
A consideration of those persons previously interviewed has resulted in the committee recommending the nomination of Dr Gladstone Sandi Baai for the vacancy. The UDM supports the committee's report. Thank you.
