If I can refer my colleague to Article 63 on Community Land, there are provisions about making land available to these communities if those areas are considered traditionally occupied land, hunters’ or gatherers’ ancestral land and places of worship. All these are within the constitutional provisions. We are working on a National Land Commission Bill together with a Land Bill that will enable us to implement these provisions in the Constitution. There is now a constitutional framework for addressing these issues. Our old Constitution did not give us a framework for ensuring that these traditional and ancestral lands are protected. I urge the Members to support the Land Bill when it comes to the House. They will see the provisions that cater for such cases in the Bill."}
