Portfolio Committee on Provincial and Local Government

National Assembly

Tentative Programme for Third Quarter, 2003

Please note:

  1. 4 – 29 August is for Committee sittings only.
  2. The House will sit from 1 September onwards.
  3. We will have to deal with 3 bills:

    i) Municipal Systems Act Amendment Bill (related to the MFMB)

    ii) Traditional Leadership and Governance Bill

    iii) Property Rates Bill
  4. The Programme below is more tentative than usual because of the more than usual uncertainties about the dates on which bills will be introduced to parliament, the programme of parliament as a whole, and the need to co-operate with the Portfolio Committee on Finance.
  5. We must seek to dispense with the Municipal Systems Act Amendment Bill by the end of August. Provided the Bill does not comprise substantial amendments and there is reasonable consensus on its content, this deadline can certainly be met.
  6. In order to facilitate processing of the Property Rates Bill, sufficient time will be given to Study Groups and for reading through the copious material relevant to the Bill.
