The reason for this is very simple and obvious, the adoption of this Bill today is merely an election ploy and therefore the ANC is not interested in adopting a good piece of legislation. [Applause.]. To bring it to this House two weeks before the NCOP to rise for the election will never give this Parliament the faintest of chances to finalise this Bill and it makes a mockery of parliamentary processes. Or, does the ANC really believe that the NCOP will be able to hold provincial public participation processes and vote on the Bill all within
