• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am rising on a point of order. I do not know whether I would be in order to draw the attention of the House as we grapple with this very weighty matter?

The committee has a mandate to make recommendations to this House on that preliminary report; this House has the mandate to make resolutions. Those resolutions, in my humble interpretation of this law, will be based both on the preliminary report of the commission and the recommendations of the committee. That is the law enacted by this honourable House itself. So, I believe that it would be in order to allow the committee to proceed to table ... view

• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I move this Motion aware that the right to property is sacrosanct; both in the old constitutional order that we replaced in 2010 and in the new dispensation.
