    "content": "protects them from being prosecuted. Clause 53 looks at the complaints and how they will be handled within that specific Act. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said about the importance of having national cohesion and peace building. We have focused on fighting each other instead of being cohesive. The fight is more of seasonal, because it tends to come up during the electioneering period. We have to move forward with intact communities. To achieve this, we need to work on how we conduct our elections. People must feel that their choices have been appreciated. South Africa recently conducted very peaceful elections. We also have to make sure that everybody gets a chance in education, social and cultural systems. I sit in the Committee on Education, and this debate comes up over and over again. There are children who end up in schools that disenfranchise them in terms of performance. It is now 50 years after Independence, and we have to look at equality in terms of opportunities so as to give chance to everybody; and this Bill contributes to that. Congratulations, Sen. Pareno, for bringing this Bill. I know that it will help to bring cohesion in this country."
