Article 62(1)(f) and (3) classify minerals as public land, which is vested in the national Government.

roll out their programmes without external interference by interested parties who come to--- For now, we have over 56 parties which are not funded. It is very difficult for them to roll out their programmes throughout the Republic, when they do not enjoy any funding from the Government, or from well-wishers. I support the position that we reduce the percentage from 5 to 2 per cent to allow more parties to come in to enjoy the Fund. If that is the position, I appreciate what the Mover was saying.
