The Bill will have substantial financial implications for the departments involved in the criminal justice system. However, the sexual offences courts will only be designated once the necessary funding has been acquired to put in place the specified infrastructure, sufficient court personnel have been appointed and trained, and professional multidisciplinary services for victims are available. Some of the courts which were previously established as sexual offences courts have some infrastructure and basic capacity in place to deal with sexual offences. We commend this Bill to the House, and the ANC will be supporting it. Thank you.
