SPEECH : DEFENCE EXPOSITION OF SA 94

T MBEKI: CONSULTATIVE WORKSHOP OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LEGISLATION
Least of all can it have the capacity to manipulate the Gumbi Task Force on freedom of information. The Task Force has there legitimately raised the contentious question of access to information held by private bodies which exercise public power. We must consider the question of the financial and opportunity cost and the impact on efficiency of the implementation of a freedom of information act. [highlighted result]

A NEW SA: COAL EXPORTS IN TRANSITION
South Africa's coal reserve base of some 55 billion tons of economically recoverable, inherently low-sulphur, bituminous and anthracitic coal represents abour 10,5 per cent of world hard coal reserves. the Richards Bay Coal Terminal is controlled by producers responsible for over 60 % of South Africa's saleable output of coal. This minimises competition of export quality coal, which represents 18 % of South Africa's recoverable coal reserves. [highlighted result]

The term "hazardous waste" covers a wide range of wastes, also under the classification system of the Basel Convention to which South Africa acceded recently. South Africa ... [highlighted result]

The national housing strategy is coming to fruition in the form of yesterday's Senate budget debate, today's debate in this house, and the National Housing Summit next week in Botshabelo. We were in agreement last Friday that there is no single road to housing the nation, that housing is very rarely an all or nothing event. We will not have achieved the goal of liberation in South Africa if at the end of the day we have a population which is living in orderly housing, but we still have the ... [highlighted result]

DOWNLISTING OF ELEPHANT AND RHINO AT CITES
Proposal for the amendment of South Africa's Nile crocodile population (Crocodulus niloticus) from a quota system to a ranching proposal. Based on the extent of the total available suitable habitat, the potential maximum elephant population size for South Africa would be in the range of 13 000 animals. Therefore, acceptance of this proposal will allow South Africa to trade internationally in elephant products such as hides, meat and hair. [highlighted result]
