Farewell

Adv G Breytenbach (DA) thanked committee members, support staff and the secretariat for working harmoniously for five years under very difficult conditions especially with a huge work load with regards to the Sec 25 issue.

Mr K Mpumlwana (ANC) agreed with Adv Breytenbach and thanked the support staff for working very hard under difficult circumstances. He thanked the opposition for their co-operation even though there are issues they disagreed on, yet they all remained civil to one another.  All the parties in the committee disagreed to agree.  Generally all the members in the committee were an example of what a committee of parliament should look like.

Mr Nzimande thanked all the members for their support even though he joined the committee half way through its existence. He requested that this committee be promoted as much as possible and should he not make it back to Parliament, the committee can count on his submissions. This is a crucial committee and members should help to raise its profile in Parliament.

The meeting was adjourned.
