... will respond
because I know I'm not at a primary school today so I will respond to the questions Deputy Chairperson. I think it is also relevant
that members get the necessary knowledge of the process of land release.
Now, if you look at the process of land release, it is the responsibility of all three spheres of government to release land. Now, we want to see more integrated cities; we want to deal with apartheid spatial planning and those properties owned by the SA National Defence Force, SANDF, is owned by them, it is not in the custodianship of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure.
If you go and read an Act of Parliament of 1992, it was the Queen of England, during the colonial days, through that Act, that gave the military pieces of land all over the country and I am looking at that Act to see how we can repeal it because I am not here to serve the Queen of England, I am here to serve the Constitution of this country. [Applause.] So, that piece of legislation, I just know it's an Act of 1992 I can't have the right, title, actually, the land is the property of the army right now and we must deal with that law because I think the Constitution supersedes that law and that land must be released.
But, in the meantime, can I just add, there are many other pieces of land. In the City of Cape Town, there are at least 3 000 pieces of land that are available right now to build houses, right now. [Applause.]
