House of Assembly: Vol28 - FRIDAY 27 FEBRUARY 1970
For oral reply:
asked the Minister of the Interior:
- (1) Whether an application for a visa to enter the Republic was received from Seuo Masazawa; if so, what is this person’s (a) nationality and (b) profession or occupation;
- (2) whether this person was invited to the Republic; if so, (a) by whom and (b) for what purpose;
- (3) whether the visa was granted; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes.
- (a) Japanese
- (b) Jockey
- (2) Yes.
- (a) Germiston Sporting Club
- (b) To take part in horse racing at Benoni and Pietermaritzburg.
- (3) Yes.
asked the Minister of Defence:
- (1) Whether a postponement of national service has been granted to persons proceeding to the United States of America under the American Field Service scheme; if so, to how many persons in each year since 1965;
- (2) whether the exchange scheme of the American Field Service is for this purpose recognized as a study course.
(1) and (2). It is the policy to postpone the national service of national servicemen who wish to attend study courses abroad until completion of such courses, to enable them to do so. As the exchange scheme of the American Field Service in fact entails a study course this policy is also applicable thereto. Since 1965 postponement of national service was granted to the following numbers of national servicemen for the attendance of such courses:
1965 |
… 15 |
1966 |
… 1 |
1967 |
… 2 |
1968 |
… 16 |
1969 |
… 29 |
1970 |
… No applications have thus far been received. |
asked the Minister of Community Development:
Whether he has taken any steps (a) to remove from Coloured areas Indian and Bantu persons who profess to be Coloured persons and (b) to prohibit such persons from occupying houses intended for Coloured persons; if so, what steps.
- (a) and (b) Yes, in so far as Indians are concerned since I am not responsible for the resettlement of Bantu. Disqualified persons occupying in Coloured group areas are, in terms of the Group Areas Act, 1966, resettled as soon as possible. Disqualified persons are not allowed to settle in Coloured areas.
asked the Minister of Labour:
- (1) (a) What is the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period required to publish an industrial agreement in the Government Gazette once the parties have agreed on the new conditions of employment that are to apply and (b) what has been the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period during the past year;
- (2) whether any instances have come to his notice where delays in his Department in this connection have resulted in loss of income to workers;
- (3) (a) what is the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period required to register an industrial council once the parties concerned have submitted their application to establish such a council and (b) what has been the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period during the past year;
- (4) (a) what is the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period required by the Industrial Registrar to register amendments to Lade union constitutions and (b) what has been the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period during the past year;
- (5) (a) what is the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period required by the Industrial Registrar to grant an application for variation of scope by (aa) a trade union, (bb) an employer’s organization and (cc) an industrial council and (b) what has been the (i) shortest and (ii) longest period during the past year in each case.
- (1)
- (a) When the parties to an Industrial Council have agreed upon new conditions of employment, the first step is for the Council to reduce the agreement to writing and to submit a draft copy to the Department for scrutiny. Agreements are dealt with by the Department in the order in which they are received and the time which has to be devoted to an agreement depends on a number of factors such as the size of the agreement, drafting deficiencies, noncompliance with standing departmental requirements, overlaps with other agreements, etc. The Department’s comments are transmitted to the Industrial Council as soon as possible and the Department can take no further action until the final documents are received back from the council. It is not possible therefore to say what is the shortest or longest period required to effect publication in the Gazette after the parties have agreed upon new conditions.
- (b) I regret that the time allowed by the hon. member for a reply to this question and also questions (3) (b), (4) (b) and (5) (b) did not permit of the extraction of the desired particulars which involves the examination of a large number of files relating to industrial councils, trade unions and employers organizations.
- (2) No. The parties normally agree to implement improved conditions from a date prior to publication of the agreement.
- (3) (a) Application, for the registration of industrial councils must be published for objections and the period required to register a council depends largely on the objections which may be lodged.
- (4) (a) The position here is similar to that outlined in reply to question (1) (a) relating to agreements.
- (5) (a) The reply to question (3) (a) is also applicable here.
asked the Minister of Transport:
- (1) Whether he has caused any investigations to be made to determine the cause of the recent pollution of Durban Bay which resulted in the killing of marine life; if so, with what result;
- (2) whether any representations have been received in connection with the matter; if so, (a) from whom, (b) what was the nature of the representations and (c) what was the reaction thereto;
- (3) whether the Railways Administration proposes to take steps to ensure that it is not responsible for similar pollution in future; if so, what steps; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes, but the cause and source of the pollution have as yet not been established.
- (2) Yes.
- (a) Representatives of the Angling Union, the Parks Board and the Department of Water Affairs.
- (b) To ascertain the cause of the pollution.
- (c) Senior technical Officers of the Railways together with experts of the Durban Corporation and the Department of Water Affairs have investigated the matter extensively to determine the cause of the pollution,
- (3) The source of the pollution has not yet been established but the results of the investigation thus far indicate that the Railways are not responsible for the pollution.
asked the Minister of Water Affairs:
- (1) Whether his attention has been drawn to the recent pollution of the sea in Durban Bay resulting in the killing of marine life;
- (2) whether he proposes to take steps to prevent such pollution; if so, what steps; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes.
- (2) The steps that are normally taken in terms of the Water Act as regards the prevention and control of pollution, are still being applied.
[The following further reply was subsequently furnished in writing:
Matter investigated and investigation being continued with the purpose of trying to prevent a recurrence. Legal steps against pollution will be taken if it can be proved that pollution was in conflict with the provisions of the Water Act No. 54 of 1956.
The origin of the pollution has not been determined except that it appears to be the release of one or other unidentified substance, either poison or acid. If released by a ship it would not be a matter under the Water Act. Various Ships were investigated without success. The South African Railways appears to be innocent as well as other industrial instances which might have been responsible. The poison disappeared on the 24th February.]
asked the Minister of Prisons:
- (a) What are the names of the guests of honour invited to the presentation of medals to staff of the prisons service at Pollsmoor on 24th February, 1970, and (b) in what capacity were they invited.

Mr. Speaker, unfortunately there was a misunderstanding on the importance of this Bill, and I want to avail myself of this opportunity to convey to the hon. the Leader of the House, as well as to the Opposition, my sincere gratitude for their having given us this opportunity of proceeding with this Bill at this late stage of the Session. I therefore move—
To start with I want to point out that the various provisions of this Bill are aimed at either bridging problems which are being experienced in practice in the application of certain existing statutory provisions, or of adjusting existing statutory provisions in subsequent legislation or to make provision for altered circumstances which have resulted from existing legislation. There are in fact no principles in the legislation which are not in line with existing legislation, and I therefore trust that both sides of this House will see their way clear to accepting the Bill in its present form without any hesitation.
Although the various provisions of the Bill have already been explained in the explanatory memorandum which has been laid upon the Table. I nevertheless want to elucidate the Bill further for the information of hon. members.
Clause 1
In clause 1 we are dealing with a problem which originated with the establishment of the South African Bantu Trust.
Since the Trust was established its books and accounts have been audited by the Controller and Auditor-General. Prior to 1949, this audit took place in terms of regulations under the Trust and Land Act, but this arrangement was formerly authorized in that year by the insertion of section 9bis in the Act. Inter alia, this section requires that a balance sheet be submitted. I am no auditor, but hon. members who have specialized in that direction know that a balance sheet must indicate the actual assets. Now, however, we are faced with the following position, namely: In 1936 certain land was transferred to the Trust, and subsequent to that date the Trust has also purchased land. The land and the improvements which in 1936 were transferred to the Trust, have never been valuated and it would now cost a considerable amount to have the land valuated to-day. Furthermore, although the purchase price of the land which was obtained since 1936 is known, this purchase price cannot be accepted as the current value of this land and the improvements thereon for the purposes of drawing up a balance sheet.
It is therefore not possible to submit a properly recognized balance sheet unless the present value of the Trust’s land is indicated thereon, and to obtain this information will necessitate considerable expenditure. After discussion in the Select Committee on Public Accounts, and with the consent of the Controller and Auditor-General it is now being proposed that section 9bis be amended as indicated in clause 1 of the Bill. Otherwise this amendment of course remains entirely in accordance with section 57 of the Exchequer and Audit Act, 1956, in so far as that section relates to statements of accounts of other statutor bodies which are being audited by the Controller and Auditor-General.
Clause 2
Clause 2, which deals with the liability of Bantu Governments in regard to the Workmen’s Compensation Fund is in fact self-explanatory. The effect of the envisaged amendment is simply that with effect from a date determined by the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner, a territorial authority and the corresponding bodies in South West Africa— just as in the case of the State—will be exempted from assessment in terms of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1941, and will therefore carry the risk of compensation for accidents themselves. The date will be determined by the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner and it will therefore be possible to arrange that only bodies who are of sufficient financial strength will take this obligation upon them.
As appears from the amendment, the old Transkeian territorial authority was automatically exempted so that this does not constitute any new principle. In addition, this was always the case with the State itself. I must emphasize that this legislation has nothing to do with the right of an injured employee of such an authority to obtain compensation from the Workmen’s Compensation Fund.
Clause 3
Clause 3, which deals with the exemption of Bantu Governments and authorities from the payment of certain moneys should not give rise to any problems. The principle that Bantu Governmental bodies are exempted from the payment of taxes and levies, except in regard to customs and excise or levies on agricultural produce, was accepted as long ago as 1943. The provision is simply being streamlined here so as to include corresponding bodies in South West Africa and in order to eliminate certain obsolete provisions.
Clauses 4, 5 and 6 (a)
I am dealing with clauses 4, 5 and 6 (a) together because all three concern the auditing of the books of the various kinds of Bantu authorities and in this regard I should like to refer to the explanatory memorandum.
In terms of the existing section 8 of the Bantu Authorities Act, 1951, there has to be a treasury for each tribal, each regional and each territorial authority and the Controller and Auditor-General has to audit the accounts of each regional and each territorial authority. Nothing is said about the auditing of the accounts of the tribal authorities, although control over them is vested in the Minister and he can transfer this control or portion thereof to the senior authority concerned, i.e. a regional or territorial authority. Section 9 defines clearly what moneys belong to the treasury of a tribal authority, while sections 10 and 11 on the other hand provide what moneys belong to the treasury of a regional or territorial authority.
According to the present dispensation (section 57 of the Exchequer and Audit Act 1956) the Controller and Auditor-General must submit a copy of his report of an audit of such a Bantu authority to the Minister, and a copy to the Bantu authority concerned. The Minister must then lay the report and statement of accounts upon the Table in this Parliament.
Clause 5 provides that the Controller and Auditor-General shall continue to audit the books of regional and territorial authorities, but certain tribal authorities can by notice in the Gazette be designated as authorities whose books shall also be audited in this manner. The larger and more advanced tribal authorities will gradually be designated in this way.
But then the clause proceeds to provide that if the Controller and Auditor-General has undertaken such an audit, he must submit his report to the Minister and the territorial authority, although it may have a bearing on a regional authority or on a tribal authority. In this way the higher level of authority is being involved in the financial matters of its subservient authorities. The territorial authority must then deal with this report and in due course make comment to the Minister. The report and this comment is then laid upon the Table in Parliament.
The intention is to encourage increased responsibility on the part of the Bantu authority and to interest it in a positive way in the affairs of its subservient bodies for whose actions it also has to accept responsibility.
Clause 6 (a) takes this development a step further by adjusting the power to make regulations in regard to the Bantu authorities.
Clause 6 (b)
Clause 6 (b) expands the power of the State President to make regulations in regard to the conditions of service of the staff of Bantu authorities so that regulations can also be promulgated in regard to matters such as discipline, dismissal, retirement arrangements and pensions.
Clause 7
Clause 7 relates to the revenue which has to be paid into the Transkei Revenue Fund. Included here are moneys which are obtained owing to the application of the laws of the Transkei Legislative Assembly’s own laws. However, this source of revenue is not relevant here. In addition one of the sources of revenue are moneys which are obtained owing to the application of Proclamation 180 of 1956, which established Bantu authorities in the Transkei. Inter alia moneys such as cattle tax and dipping fees are collected in terms of this proclamation and it is this kind of revenue which is affected by this clause. It is pointed out in the explanatory memorandum that these moneys—the revenue of the lower authorities —is paid over to them directly, something which according to the Controller and Auditor-General cannot be done since all such and other moneys paid by Transkeian citizens, should in the first instance have been paid into the Transkeian Revenue Fund. In 1966, however, an amendment was made to make direct payment to the Bantu authorities possible (see section 6 of Act 63 of 1966) and this arrangement is now being made with retrospective effect to 1st April, 1964 in clause 10. In addition a similar adjustment—actually a consequential adjustment—is being made in regard to another paragraph in the principal section of the Transkei Constitution Act which deals with the Transkei Revenue Fund to make it clear that the revenue which derives from Proclamation 180 of 1956 does not accrue to the Transkei Revenue Fund, but does in fact accrue to the Bantu authorities concerned, and does so with retrospective effect as from 1st April, 1964. By this means the need is being eliminated for the Transkei Legislative Assembly to have to pass special legislation to re-appropriate to themselves the revenue which is being collected by the lower authorities themselves. You will note in the explanatory memorandum that the Controller and Auditor-General is also satisfied with this.
Clause 8
Clause 8 deals with the auditing of the books of the Transkeian authorities. As you will note from the explanatory memorandum, doubt exists as to whether the Controller-General can in fact audit the accounts of the Bantu authorities in terms of section 58 of the Transkei Constitution Act. bearing in mind the fact that the Transkei Legislative Assembly now has an act of their own which controls these authorities. However, the Controller and Auditor-General agreed to audit the accounts of these lesser bodies, provided the relevant section is suitably amended, with retrospective effect, in order to vest him with that power. This is consequently what will be achieved by means of clause 8.
Clause 9
Clause 9 deals with matters in regard to which the Transkei Legislative Assembly can make its own laws. To this list is now being added the conservation of flora and fauna and the eradication of vermin in the Transkei. This service will therefore now be taken over from the Cape Provincial Administration; this administration and the Administrator has no objections to that. In terms of items 3 and 20 of part B of the Second Schedule to the Transkeian Constitution the Transkeian Legislative Assembly in any case already has legislative power in respect of agriculture in regard to soil and veld conservation, as well as the protection offish and wild life in the Transkei which actually duplicates in a certain respect the powers which are now at issue so that it is not always clear where the line must be drawn between the activities of the administration and those of the Transkeian Government.
Clause 10
When I was elucidating clause 7, I simultaneously explained clause 10, namely that the amendment contained in that clause should be with retrospective effect to 1st April, 1964.
Clause 11
Clause 11 deals with the auditing of the books and accounts of Bantu authorities and specifically in respect of those of South West Africa. In terms of this the pattern which will be followed will be the same as in the Republic, namely the Controller and Auditor-General audits the books of the Bantu authorities and submits a copy of his report to the Minister and the Executive Council (which has powers over the Bantu authority). The Legislative Assembly must then deal with this report and submit its comment on it to the Minister. The report and the comment must then be laid upon the Table in Parliament. In addition the accounts of the Bantu authorities which do not yet fall within the legal purview of the Legislative Assembly must be re-audited.
Clause 12
Clause 12 deals with the transference of certain movable property to the Bantu authorities and is fully elucidated in the explanatory memorandum. I must emphasize that it must not be deduced that it is now the intention to donate movable property belonging to the State to the Bantu authorities in great quantities. The authorization requested in the clause is only necessary to overcome administrative problems. The authorities take over services which the State is at present rendering and in many cases there is State property which goes with these services; there are items of furniture which have up to now been used by officials rendering these services: there is stationery; there are forms which were specially used for particular purposes. These goods cannot be granted to the authorities without special authorization, and it is unpractical to try to determine the value thereof now and to sell it to the authorities concerned. That is why authorization is now being requested, which will be used in such cases and in other suitable cases in order to transfer the goods to these authorities. This donation will of course, as provided in the clause, take place in consultation with the Minister of finance.
Mr. Speaker, I believe that with the explanatory memorandum and the explanations I have just given, I have properly elucidated this Bill and that anything which might still not have been clear has been eliminated. I trust that hon. members will see the Bill for what it is, namely simply one which regulates technical aspects and which is aimed at causing the Administration to function smoothly.
I make so bold as to say that nothing contentious is contained in this Bill here. For that reason, Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to move that the Bill be now read a Second Time.
Mr. Speaker, the hon. the Deputy Minister will no doubt be pleased to hear that this is one of the rare occasions when we agree with the Government on a Bantu Bill. I hope the hon. the Deputy Minister is prepared for a close examination of the Bill in the Committee Stage. I hope the hon. the Deputy Minister has read the Bill and understands it because we will want some clarification of clause 5 of the Bill which provides for the insertion inter alia of a new section 8 A (1), which states that:
Is it a case of the books and accounts determined by the Minister or a tribal authority determined by the Minister? That is not clear and we will require some clarification in the Committee Stage. The hon. the Deputy Minister will no doubt have an opportunity to consider the matter before we come to that particular clause. Otherwise this Bill deals in the main with audit matters and financial control and that is the reason why we are supporting this Bill. We think that better financial control in all government departments is necessary. I hone that the Minister is going to ask the controller and Auditor-General to do a continuous audit because a continuous audit has a great many advantages over an audit done at the end of the year. Far too many Government departments have an audit carried out after the end of the year when it is very much a case of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. Some of the recent reports of the Auditor-General indicate that in some departments, and I do not want to mention any particular departments now, a considerable amount of waste has taken place. I think that if the Auditor-General is going to maintain the control which he ought to have, a continuous audit is essential in the public interest. We support the Second Reading of this Bill.
Mr. Speaker, I want to be brief and deal really only with one clause of the Bill, to which I will move an amendment in the Committee Stage. I take it that we will have the Committee Stage to-morrow! This opportunity therefore presents itself to me to give the hon. the Deputy Minister a warning. In clause 9 of the Bill provision is made for the Transkei Constitution to be changed by inserting after item 20 the following new item:
The preservation of flora and fauna is one of the powers now being conferred upon the Transkei Government. The amendment I will move later is to omit the word “preservation” and to substitute the word “conservation”. “Preservation” is an old and a narrow term and in practice it has been found by all the provinces to be inadequate because it is so restrictive in its meaning. I do not think that this amendment will offer any difficulty to the hon. the Deputy Minister. The Transkei has some most magnificent forests and I for one am very pleased indeed to see that the control of the forests there is being handed over to the Transkei Government. I think that they have something here in which they can take pride and if it is administered from the point of view of the tourist industry, and not merely from the point of view of cutting down the trees, I think they will find that they have an asset of immense value. With the forests of course go the wild life of the Transkei. There is not a great deal of wild life left in the Transkei but if we accept the word “conservation”, as I suggest, when the time comes it will permit the Transkei Government to conserve wild life associated with the indigenous fauna which was there in the past. If we keep the word “preservation” it merely means maintaining what is already there. It is this wider connotation that I would like to see brought into the Bill before us. It is merely to give the hon. the Deputy Minister notice of my intention to move this amendment in the Committee Stage that I speak now.
Mr. Speaker, I wish to thank hon. members opposite sincerely for the support which they are giving the Bill. I had not expected any opposition from their side, because, as I said in my second-reading speech, this Bill deals largely with auditing. I know that especially the hon. member for Pinetown, as we on this side do, insists that there should be proper auditing of books. During the Committee Stage I shall reply to the question which he put in connection with clause 5. In passing, I may just mention that I believe that the Bill is very clear in this respect, namely that the books of territorial and regional authorities are, in fact, audited, but that those of the tribal authorities are excluded until such time as the hon. the Minister includes such tribal authorities as well by way of proclamation. There are small tribal authorities whose books really need not be audited. I shall, however, deal with this aspect during the Committee Stage.
I also want to thank the hon. member for South Coast for the support which he is giving the Bill. We know that the hon. member for South Coast is interested in the preservation of flora and fauna. I am not a philologist and I do not know whether it would make any great difference if the word “conservation” were substituted for the word “preservation”. I should, however, like to refer the hon. member to the Afrikaans version, in which reference is made to the “behoud” of flora. It is especially about flora that the hon. member is concerned. If a Government does not make it its aim to protect flora, it cannot in my opinion be compelled to do so merely by altering or inserting a word. The position here is that confidence is being placed in the Transkeian Government in that, apart from their duties, to which I referred during my second-reading speech and which often overlap with the duties which are now being entrusted to them, the preservation of fauna and flora is now being added as well. I thank hon. members opposite for their support of this Bill.
Motion put and agreed to.
Bill read a Second Time.
(Committee Stage)
Clause 5
Mr. Chairman, I raised this matter during the second-reading debate and I again want to bring it to the attention of the hon. the Deputy Minister. I would like to have clarification whether it applies to territorial authorities determined by the Minister or the books and accounts determined by the Minister. Subsection (1) of the new section 8A inserted by clause 5 after section 8 of the Bantu Authorities Act, 1951, reads as follows:
What does the hon. the Minister determine? Does he determine the books and accounts to be audited or the tribal authority? I think the hon. the Deputy Minister should make that clear.
Mr. Chairman, the position is that according to the clause the books and accounts of a regional or territorial authority are subject to audit by the Controller and Auditor-General. So far the books and accounts of tribal authorities have been excluded. Tribal authorities are, now, however, included by this Bill. They can be included by notice in the Gazette by the Minister.
Mr. Chairman, I do not think the hon. the Deputy Minister has answered the question. What the hon. member for Pinetown wants to know is whether the proclamation by the hon. the Minister in the Gazette is to establish the authority or is the proclamation in the Gazette to give the Controller and Auditor-General the authority to authorize. These are two different things. What we want to be certain of is that every territorial authority will be subject to the control of the Auditor-General.
Mr. Chairman, the position is that every regional and every territorial authority is subject to audit by the Controller and Auditor-General. But the books and accounts of tribal authorities are now included by proclamation by the Minister for auditing purposes. I hope I am making myself quite clear on this point. Tribal authorities are established in certain areas and their books and accounts are not audited by the Controller and Auditor-General, but the hon. the Minister may, by proclamation in the Gazette, subject the books and accounts of certain tribal authorities to audit by the Controller and Auditor-General.
Clause put and agreed to.
Clause 9
Mr. Chairman, I want to move the amendment to which I referred to the second-reading debate. May I say that in his reply to me the hon. the Deputy Minister seemed to bear out my own contention. If the Afrikaans text covers the meaning of the word I want substituted it is at variance with the English text at the moment. I do not know which copy is going to be signed by the State President, but I would like to point out to the hon. the Deputy Minister in this regard that when he leaves this hon. House for another status, he will find that there is under him a Department of Nature Conservation, not “preservation”. The word “preservation” is an old one which was used at the time of the Union. The provinces had many difficulties because of this word, because they found ancillary activities associated with conservation but not necessarily with preservation. The meaning of the word “preservation” is too narrow. I therefore ask that the hon. the Deputy Minister will accept my amendment. I move—-
Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to accept, in the English text, the amendment of the hon. member for South Coast. The wording of the Afrikaans text remains unchanged. I do not want to lay down a very strict condition for this matter, but I just want to say that I hope that the Report Stage of the Bill will not be taken only until Sunday.
Amendment put and agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
Clause 12
Mr. Chairman, the hon. the Deputy Minister has explained that the transfer of movable property will not apply generally, but only in regard to minor matters. I want to ask the hon. the Deputy Minister how Parliament will know of this. Is there any provision to have transfers of this nature laid on the Table of the House, or how will Parliament know what is being transferred to the different authorities?
Mr. Chairman, I do not want to refer the hon. member to the explanatory memorandum this time, I want to refer him to the Bill itself. Clause 12 deals with movable property which “is connected with the functions of any authority or legislative council established or recognized in terms of the Bantu Authorities Act, 1951.” Therefore, this clause only deals with movable property which is concerned with the functioning of the specific authority. I think the Bill itself makes it quite clear.
What about roadmaking machinery which may be connected with the functioning of that authority?
Roadmaking machinery may be transferred to these authorities.
Mr. Chairman, the point is that it may involve quite a lot of money. What I want to know is whether there is any way in which Parliament will be able to find out what is being transferred.
There is the right of hon. members to put questions across the floor to the Minister who is responsible for that department. They can ask the hon. the Minister concerned what movable property has been transferred to different authorities. I see no reason why they should not ask such a question. If the Minister thinks that certain movable property is used in the functioning of that authority then it can be transferred to the authority in consultation with the Minister of finance. When the Secretary’s report is laid upon the Table, I am sure the hon. member can ask what movable property has been transferred to the specific authorities.
Mr. Chairman, I thank the hon. the Minister for his efforts to try to put the hon. the Deputy Minister in the picture. I wonder whether the hon. the Minister could tell us what he was trying to tell the hon. the Deputy Minister. Then we will get a better idea of how Parliament is going to know what movable property is transferred. It is no good saying that we can ask questions. How can we ask questions …
Is the hon. member not addressing the Committee for the fourth time?
Mr. Chairman, seeing that this is your last Committee, I am sure you will not spoil it now! [Laughter.]
The hon. member is not supposed to make four speeches on one clause
Perhaps the hon. the Minister can just answer that question.
Mr. Chairman, I should like to reply to the hon. member. The position is that so far we have had other transfers of movable property without any prior decisions or Acts of Parliament which compelled us in some way or another to report to Parliament by means of a notice or in any other way. I wish to refer the hon. member to the fact that provision is being made in clause 12 for a counter-check on the Minister of Bantu Administration. This counter-check is that the Minister of finance should be consulted before such transfers can be given. However, if it will satisfy the hon. member I am prepared to undertake to ask the Secretary of the Department of Bantu Administration to report in his annual report every such transfer to these authorities.
Clause put and agreed to.
House Resumed:
Bill reported with an amendment.
Report Stage taken without debate.
Bill read a Third Time.
Mr. Speaker, I move, as an unopposed motion—
Mr. Speaker, Speaker Klopper, took the Chair in this House for the first time in 1954, as Deputy Chairman of Committees. In 1957, Sir, you became Deputy Speaker and Chairman of Committees. You assumed the Office of Speaker on 20th January, 1961. You have carried out your very onerous duties with the necessary strictness and with very great dignity, but also with the necessary sense of humour. For that you receive the appreciation of the members of this House. One realizes that the smooth functioning of this Parliament naturally does not depend upon the Speaker alone; it also depends upon the co-operation of the Secretariat and the officials attached to their staff. It also depends upon the co-operation of the Leader of the House with the Whips on both sides. It also depends upon the co-operation of the Deputy Speaker and the Deputy Chairman of Committees. I do not think it would be out of place on this occasion to express a brief word of thanks to all the gentlemen concerned. In view of the fact that the Deputy Speaker will not be returning to this House, and that the Chief Whip of the Opposition, after serving in that capacity for a record number of years, will not be returning to this House either, a special word of appreciation to these two gentlemen will certainly not be out of place. We as Parliamentarians in this House have not failed to appreciate the services of these two hon. gentlemen.
While you, Mr. Speaker, have had the support of all these gentlemen, it is and remains a fact that the task of carrying out the duties attaching to the Speakership has still been primarily yours. For the way in which you have fulfilled that task in the best traditions of Parliament, and for these services, which have been rendered in so particularly distinguished a manner, this House wishes to convey to you its special thanks and appreciation on the occasion of the rising of this Parliament.
Mr. Speaker, I second the motion. We on this side of the House are happy to be associated with the words of the hon. the Prime Minister in regard to you in your high Office and in respect of other officials and dignitaries of this Parliament. I am indeed glad that the hon. the Prime Minister has expressed his gratitude towards the Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the House and the Whips on both sides of the House for the measure of co-operation there has been. It is never easy to be a Deputy Speaker in a House such as this because you are neither the one nor the other; you are of the House, you are of the Speaker’s Chair and you have to try to function in both capacities. I think our Deputy Speaker has done an extremely good job in this very difficult situation.
I am grateful too that the hon. the Prime Minister has said something about the Leader of the House and the Whips. We learned to know the Leader of the House over the years. We learned to understand him. I think there has been a very high measure of co-operation, which has facilitated the working of this House. The function of the Whips is something that is not always appreciated by the public. I think that we on this side of the House have been singularly fortunate in having, as our Chief Whip for a record period, somebody who has been so, shall I say, distinguished a parliamentarian, someone who has fought so for the rights of Parliament and for the rights of members and has set such a very high example to us all in this House. We shall miss him. I hope the traditions which he has set will always be observed by the Opposition.
Mr. Speaker, I should also like to say a word as to your very difficult position. We see you are in a somewhat different light from what the Government does. We see you as the guardian of the rights of the minority in this House. We appreciate how difficult your task sometimes was. I think we have to express to you our gratitude not only as the guardian of the rights of the minority but also as the jealous guardian of the privileges of Parliament. I think in that capacity you have shown how much you value those privileges, how important you regard them and how jealous of them you are.
There is the third capacity in which the Speaker functions amongst many others and that is as a servant of Parliament. You are, Sir, Parliament’s chief servant. As such you have interested yourself in this building and the treasures which have been assembled here. I think that we are all grateful to you in that under your guidance, this Parliament is slowly becoming a real treasury of Africana and historical pictures, statues, documents and collections. I want to congratulate you particularly on your acquisition of the Le Vaillant paintings and the prints of that early traveller. It is one of those things which I think will make Parliament a very exclusive storehouse of our treasures.
It gives me great pleasure, Mr. Speaker, to second the motion.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to associate myself with the motion before the House and with the well deserved tributes paid to you and the members of your staff, to the hon. the Leader of the House and others by the hon. the Prime Minister and the hon. the Leader of the Opposition. I am sure that it will be appreciated that for me personally, this is indeed a sad occasion in that it symbolizes the end of an association with this House which has endured for well-nigh a quarter of a century. I recall with much gratitude that it has been my privilege to serve in this House under five Prime Ministers, namely General Smuts, Dr. Malan, Mr. Strydom, Dr. Verwoerd, all now of revered memories, and the present incumbent holding this important position, the hon. Mr. John Vorster. I would like to place on record my deep appreciation of the kindness and courtesy which I have received over these long years from all these leaders and indeed from all sides of the House despite the fact that our political outlooks often differed.
At the same time it was my privilege to serve under several Speakers of this hon. House, all of whom extended to me a great measure of help and goodwill. I am deeply conscious of the fact that since I became a representative of the Coloured people in this House. I served almost exclusively under your estimable Speakership. I am very happy indeed to-day to associate myself with the tributes paid to you by the hon. the Prime Minister and the hon. Leader of the Opposition, and to be able to pay public tribute for your great help and encouragement which you gave to me as the leader of this small group who represented cur Coloured citizens in this House. You were completely impartial and unbiased in every aspect concerning our deliberations. You recognized, Sir, our minority representation in this House and did me the personal honour of appointing me for many years as one of your nominees on the senior committee of Parliament. You allocated to our group with the utmost fairness and impartiality our proper quantum of time in every important debate which came before this House. For all these kindnesses, for all the fairness and impartiality, for all the goodwill that I received from you. Sir, I express my sincere thanks to you and to all members of your staff as I say “totsiens” to you, Sir, and the other members of this hon. House.
Mr. Speaker, I wish to associate myself, in my capacity as Leader of the House, with what has been said by the hon. the Prime Minister, the hon. the Leader of the Opposition and the hon. member who has just resumed his seat, that is to say, the words expressed and the tributes paid to all, except those to myself, of course. I also wish to say that during the time in which I have held this Office I have enjoyed very fine co-operation with you as Speaker. I found you to be a Speaker who performed his task ably, who enjoyed the respect of both sides of the House and who was completely impartial.
I also wish to convey a special word of thanks to the Deputy Speaker, who will not be returning. He too acquitted himself very well of his difficult task.
†I also want to pay special tribute to the Secretary of the House for the assistance, the help and the co-operation I received from him over the years in my capacity as Leader of the House. He was of great help to me especially when I first took over this rather arduous position.
Lastly, Mr. Speaker, I should like to pay a special tribute to the hon. member for Von Brandis, who is the father of the House, with an unbroken service of 37 years. He holds the record as a Whip and Chief Whip of a party. I think he became Whip in 1938. Shortly after that he became Chief Whip. He has held that position until now When he is retiring from the House. I came to know him, Sir, as a man that had a very high regard for the traditions and the conventions of Parliament. As we see again to-day, he retains this tradition of Parliament by having his head covered on the last day of the session. I have also received the most sincere co-operation and support from the hon. member and his assistant Whips over the years. Of course, we did not always agree, but that is only natural. However, we have co-operated and I have received their support in regard to the smooth running of the House and in dealing with the business of the House. I want to say that I appreciate it very much indeed. I hope that in his retirement he will be blessed with good health. I know he will miss the House after having been here for so many years. Still, I hope that he will have health and happiness in the years ahead.
Motion put and agreed to.
Mr. Prime Minister, the hon. the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Bloomberg and the Leader of the House, I feel quite embarrassed, but I wish to thank you for your kind words concerning myself. I just want to say that it would be quite impossible to endeavour to discharge all the responsibilities and duties of this onerous position unless you have the closest co-operation of all the members of the House.
*For this one needs not only the co-operation of the hon. members of this House, but also that of your colleagues, such as the Deputy Speaker and the Deputy Chairman of this House, as well as the staff. We are fortunate in that this House has appointed men of such calibre to assist the Chair.
†We are also exceptionally fortunate to have a staff such as we have. It is a very small staff, but most efficient. I am grateful both to my colleagues and to the members of the staff for the way in which they have made my position possible.
*I am grateful for the kind words which have been expressed here, but I feel myself unworthy and I am conscious of my many shortcomings. And if I have had any success in my work, I owe it in the first place to Almighty God for his guidance and for his love. He has always sustained me throughout my life, as also in this difficult Office. In this session in particular I frequently sought His guidance and advice. Indeed, there was nowhere else I could turn to. To my regret, very harsh words were spoken in this session. I trust that those words will be forgotten and will not be used in this House again. Be that as it may, I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you, Mr. Prime Minister, with your Government, for your kindness and your assistance and your support and the trust which you have placed in me. I appreciate it most deeply. I feel that we stand in the service of our people and our fatherland. It behoves us to perform that service to the utmost of our ability.
†As far as the Opposition is concerned, I wish to thank the Leader, Sir de Villiers Graaff, the Chief Whip and all other members of the Opposition, Mr. Bloomberg and his group and every other member, to whatever group he may belong, for the respect that I have always enjoyed from them, their kindness, sincerity, assistance, and desire to oblige. All this has made it possible for me to do what I have done. It is for you to say whether or not it has any value. I wish to express my gratitude for the remarks by the hon. the Leader of the Opposition concerning certain duties that really are the duties of the Speaker, namely, to preserve for posterity the great historical events that have taken place in our beloved country, and also to pay tribute in a suitable manner to those who have served this House so ably in the past. In this respect I am grateful for everybody’s assistance and support.
*I hope that this work, which I consider to be important work, will be carried on, so that posterity may know what the present generation and previous generations did for our people and our fatherland.
I trust that hon. members will have a pleasant recess, that they will spend it in a restful way, that they will enjoy their holiday thoroughly and will return to the House of Assembly later this year with renewed courage and strength and with new ideas, ideals and plans. I thank you.
Mr. Speaker, I move, as an unopposed motion—
Agreed to.
