Meeting report

The Chairperson welcomed everyone present at the meeting. He requested the Committee Secretary to table the minutes. Committee Members were sent the minutes and the Chairperson assumed everyone had had an opportunity to read the minutes. He said as the meeting minutes dates are called, Committee Members should raise their hands if they wanted to make any amendments.

The Committee adopted the following Committee meeting minutes.

31 August 2022 meeting minutes

07 September 2022 meeting minutes

21 September 2022 meeting minutes

28 September 2022 meeting minutes

Mr  W Faber (DA) said his remarks about Cuba should be noted in the 11 October 2022 Committee meeting minutes. He said Cuba was not part of Africa and did not understand why the African Renaissance Fund (ARF) funds Cuba. He said this should be stated in the minutes.

Mr T Mpanza (ANC) did not disagree with Mr Faber but said the Committee should establish principles - there are many things that all Members are empathetic about but he understands when minutes are captured, it does not necessarily mean everything that was said [in the meeting] will be included in the minutes.

The Chairperson said both Members were correct. He asked the secretary to amend the meeting minutes: "A concern was raised by some Members regarding ARF’s funding for Cuba. However, the meeting concluded that everything done by ARF was in line with the stated Act”.

Mr Faber disagreed and said Afriforum had filed a court application against the Cuba funding and there are some problems with this funding.

The Chairperson said the Committee is dealing with minutes , and in the meeting, Mr Faber raised a concern and the statement reflects this.

Mr Faber wanted his name reflected as he raised the concern. Ho noted that he raised the matter several times in other meetings.

The Chairperson said it should be captured and the secretary should include the exact Act in the meeting minutes.

Committee minutes dated 11 October 2022 were adopted.

The Committee continued and adopted the following meeting minutes;

12 October 2022 meeting minutes

19 October 2022 meeting minutes

09 November 2022 meeting minutes

16 November 2022 meeting minutes.

The Committee also adopted its report on the collaborative workshop with the Institute for Global Dialogue on “unpacking the oversight perspective in South Africa’s national interest”.
