SUBMISSION BY CHARLOTTE: NEMA AMENDMENT BILL

Ms. Albertina Kakaza

As concerned civil society members and community workers we register our strongest objection to the proposed Bill Amendment on the basis that it is is in direct contradiction to and potential erosion of South Africa's hard won democratic rights, as well as the fact that government is directly accountable to the tax paying citizens of South Africa and should never take unilateral decisions affecting the well being of our environment.

The interest of every citizen and future generations are at stake here and we cannot support any government official representing our interests to act without due, appropriate process in respect to critical matters re our environment.

Sincerely

C Schaer

CDP Trust Director
