1. The Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development resolved to initiate a Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act Amendment Bill that creates a legislative framework that expressly authorises the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development to designate any court as a sexual offences court exclusively for the purposes of the trial of any person or other proceedings arising for the alleged commission of a sexual offence. The Committee complied with Rule 238 (1) by tabling a memorandum in the National Assembly on 19 June 2013.
