Member for Matungulu, are you referring to Article 53 of the Constitution or Section 53 of the Act?

Order! I allowed you to talk a little elaborately because I saw you were proposing to delete all these clauses. You should have concerned yourself with Clause 2 because that is what we are considering at the moment. That, notwithstanding, you have given good information.
