COMMENTS BY Scribblings (Peter Ranby) NEMA Amendment Bill

To whom it may concern.

This is for the portfolio committee and I am sending it through Ms Kakaza.

This note is to voice mine and my company's concern regarding the amendment to the NEMA.

Sweeping powers given to developers inside or outside government without due consultation with local communities and environmental organisations is tantamount to autocracy.

Yes we want development. But we also want consultation. Too many people fought for these rights to have them disregarded.

Sincerlely
