Chairperson, we will respond again on the matter in the question put by the hon Makhubela. As we said earlier, the 1995 judgment in the case of Makwanyane by former Chief Justice Chaskalson has been further clarified by the Constitutional Court in 2002 in the judgment on the case of the Minister of Safety and Security and Others v Walters and Another. The SA Police abide by the judgment of the Constitutional Court in the latter case. As I said, Chairperson, I have acknowledged Commissioner Makhubela, the hon Makhubela. [Laughter.]
