    "content": "The strength of the Bill is that it gives clarity to the definition of special interest groups in our country. The words “interest groups” have been taunted to mean more about women or the two-thirds gender rule. In this instance, we have a clear definition of special interest groups and where they fit. The other strength of the Bill is its intention to institutionalise the affirmative action in terms of representation of special interest groups. We have had instances where when we talk of the two-thirds gender rule, it has been seen to be more skewed towards representation of either men or women leaving out people with disabilities, marginalised communities and other special groups. However, in this instance, we have all special interest groups defined and they have been institutionalised to be in existence in terms of definition in the Bill."
