Thanks, Madam Speaker. However, the issue of prosecutors was raised. It is impossible for prosecutors to be in this unit because it is a single NPA consisting of the national director, public prosecutors, directors of public prosecutions and prosecutors. So, you can't have prosecutors in this body. Whether they are a bureau or anything else, you can't have them within a body outside the NPA.
With regard to the dissolution of the DSO and the creation of the new unit, I would like to thank Prof Halton Cheadle, the advisor to the Minister of Justice, for his assistance in drafting provisions that we believe are consistent with the Labour Relations Act.
With regard to investigations, we provided that on a fixed date set by the President, investigations will be transferred from the DSO to this division. We specified that the transfer must be in accordance with a mechanism to ensure that investigations are not prejudiced by the transfer and that the Minister of Justice, in consultation with the Minister of Safety and Security and after consultation with the National Director of Public Prosecutions and the national commissioner, must determine this mechanism. As organised crime is constantly adapting and trying to find gaps in the state's law-enforcement strategy, so too must the state evaluate its strategies and find new and better ways of fighting organised crime. Therefore, in the SAPS Bill, we required the Minister of Safety and Security to report back to Parliament within three years as to whether any legislative amendments are needed to improve the functioning of this directorate. Similarly, the justice committee's report to this House requires the Minister of Justice to evaluate the continuation of the legislative provisions relating to investigating directorates and report back to Parliament within six months. The ANC, therefore, supports this Bill in the fight against organised crime. [Applause.]
