Madam Deputy Speaker, the leader of the MF played a very important role at Codessa. The provisions in the Constitution - the interim Constitution - about traditional affairs was hurriedly done.
The 1996 legislation was a haphazard affair. The 1996 legislation has had many faults and the amendments in 2000 have had a lot of deficiencies and discrepancies. So, everything was hurried.
But the 2003 White Paper has consolidated everything, and that is why we have new legislation which embraces everything and puts all differences in their true perspective.
The relationship between the House of Traditional Leaders and the national provincial level is indeed pertinent, and the relationship between national government and the traditional leaders is a must.
However, in KwaZulu-Natal, Zulus are divided, and the MF stance is that where Zulus are divided, the MF will not take any side and we will remain neutral. Thank you. [Interjections.]
