Emphasis should be put in place that before anything happens or subdivision is approved, that land should be kept aside and registered in the name of the particular organisation. Look at how it was meant to be done in Clause 16 which says:

This is very important, but we need to ensure that, yes, the land is registered under the National Treasury as a trustee.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope my friend, Sen. Osotsi, is not complaining about me because I was ahead of him. I was talking about Gen Z. Let me take this opportunity to thank our Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. You have done something I have never thought of.
