Some examples of these have been included herein (see for example Appendix I), however this is not an exhaustive list. We have provided various formal submissions, sent letters, emails, and other correspondence, attended presentations and meetings, and otherwise engaged on these matters (where such engagement has been possible). We have furthermore requested engagement with and feedback from the relevant authorities in respect thereof. We have, for years, consistently expressed interest in these issues to DEFF, other government departments, NGOs, the South African public and other stakeholders – both privately and within the public domain.

This Submission comes from two registered South African non-profit organisations which have a substantial interest in the issues to be considered by the Panel. Organisational Background and Declaration of Interest We reserve any and all rights, remedies and actions available to us. Should you require any further information in respect of these or the Submission more generally, we are happy to provide these. We have further attempted to reference as footnotes or hyperlink the resources relied upon for this submission. Accordingly, it should be noted that different persons have provided input and we have tried within these constraints to collate this input as effectively, consistently, and practicably as possible. We have attempted to be as comprehensive as possible, given the time, resources and other relevant factors and constraints, however we may not have responded or included each and every relevant consideration. The views expressed herein are those of the two organisations and do not necessarily represent those of every individual director, member, employee, representative, volunteer, affiliate or others of either EMS and/or ALRSA. During this time, particularly as NGOs, we have experienced major strain on our resources and capacity to deal with matters. The entire process on this Call for Submissions has been done during a declared National State of Disaster and lockdown of the country. Specifically, we believe that insufficient time and notice has been provided for us to provide complete comments. Consequently, our Submission does not constitute a waiver of any rights we may have, including but not limited to challenging the Department, the High-Level Panel/ Advisory Committee or otherwise, or take any other action we deem fit in respect thereof. We wish to note upfront that we believe there are various issues with the contents, processes, and related matters in respect of the Panel generally, as well as the Call for Submission. We are submitting so as to be able to record our initial high-level views and resources however, our Submission is by no means a complete one in relation to the topics, objections or matters that may be raised. We reserve the right to provide any further or additional information on aspects raised herein. Please note that this Submission is non-exhaustive and does not represent all the responses to the issues and matters raised herein.
