It has been said that public participation cannot be seen to be a cosmetic exercise. It needs to happen as provided for by the Constitution. This looks like a no- brainer. I support that the Regulations be annulled in their entirety. Without anticipating debate, I can see that Hon. Millie Mabona is itching to comment on an issue that was raised previously. I would like to set the record straight: I said that I am an artist and I understand colours. The point I was making is that the colour green is on our national flag. The way you look this afternoon depicts that plenty has been found within our borders. The point I am making is that you look resplendent in green this afternoon. Without anticipating what Hon. Millie Mabona will say, I know that colour to be green. It is green and men are not colour-blind."}
