Comments on the Document Entitled: "Report of the Technical Committee to Theme Committee I"

The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is not in a position to subscribe to, and objects to the above captioned document. IFP believes that the constitution-making process will not allow political parties to make any substantive submission to either the Constitutional Committee or the Constitutional Assembly, since all parties' inputs are to be made in Theme Committees and will be considered in the further stages of negotiation and constitution-making only if they are embodied in the report of a Theme Committee. The IFP specifically objects to the intention shown in many places of the Report by the Theme Committee which tries and reconcile different positions. The document also includes an additional submission on this matter, where IFP makes further comments on the report.
