Zuleikha is grateful that her father’s postings abroad exposed her to a myriad of opportunities, which impacted on her life positively. While studying in South Africa, she recalls that she went through the stages of anger over apartheid. The realization of Zuleikha that one needed to be in politics to influence policy formulation prompted her to join politics. Initially, Zuleikha sought the Kaloleni parliamentary seat but was dissuaded. In parliament she has pushed the government to fund the National Youth Council.

Hon. Speaker, according to Islamic Law, a woman should cover herself. Maybe, only the face and the hands can be left exposed. So, either a long skirt or trousers are acceptable. So, they are not allowed to wear trousers and long skirts. To those who want to practise their religion, it is like being told to walk around nude.

Hon. Speaker, I would like to agree with the Leader of Majority Party. I also asked this question one week before we went on recess and the Committee on Education, Research and Technology promised to bring an answer just before we went. However, I will accept ten days. We have been waiting for years for a change. So, I will wait.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a House of precedents. I have stayed in this House for many Committees of the whole House. I know that there were instances when amendments were withdrawn and further amendments introduced on amendments.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my further amendment is: “In considering the report pursuant to subsection (4), Parliament shall not interfere with the context, text, form and substance of the report.” In 2007/2008 and since independence, this country has gone through many atrocities. Families in this country are mourning. They have not settled. They have not rested their loved ones. Maybe, some of us here have not lost our loved ones in the circumstances that other families have lost their loved ones. Maybe, that is why we can sit here tonight and say that we want to alter the TJRC Report. ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the next five seconds, I want to say that history will judge the Members of this House harshly if we ignore the widows, orphans and everybody else who is waiting for justice by altering this Report to remove the names of a few people from it. If they are guilty, they are guilty. Let them clear their names.
