House of Assembly: Vol10 - FRIDAY 1 MAY 1964
For oral reply:
asked the Minister of Transport:
The report referred to by the hon. member is still being studied by my Department, and no decision has yet been arrived at in regard to the recommendations contained therein.
asked the Minister of the Interior:
- (1) Whether the information obtained in a population census in the Republic is (a)treated as confidential and (b) maintained for statistical records only; and, if not,
- (2) whether the information obtained in the 1951 census has been used in any way for the purpose of classification under the Population Registration Act; if so,(a)in what way and (b) what reliance is placed on this information.
- (1) The Census Act is not administered by the Department of the Interior.
- (2) The hon. member’s attention is invited to Section 3; to the definition of “fixed date” in Section 1, and to the provisions of Section 12 of the Population Registration Act, 1950.
asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:
- (1) Whether any request has been made to or agreement made with (a) other Government Departments, (b) public bodies, (c) private concerns and (d) other employers in regard to the employment of present and past employees of his Department; if so, (i) to whom was the request made or with whom was an agreement made and (ii) what was the nature of the request or agreement;
- (2) whether (a) the Public Service Commission and (b) the Post Office Staff Board was consulted in this connection; if so, with what result; and
- (3) whether representations have been received by him from any staff organization in this regard; if so, (a) from which organization and (b) what was his reply.
- (1) The existing arrangements are as follows: With Volkskas Limited and the South African Broadcasting Corporation that former staff members are not to be employed within six months of their last day of duty; with Barclays Bank that negotiations be not entered into with staff members until after they have actually left the service of the Department; and with the South African Railways Administration that the Post Office and the Administration will not employ or negotiate with one another’s staff.
- (2) and (3) No.
asked the Minister of Justice:
- (1) Whether his attention has been drawn to the decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the case of Lief N.O. V. Dettman, heard by that court on 19 February 1964; and
- (2) whether, as a result of this decision, he intends to introduce legislation to amend the Deeds Registries Act; if so, when; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes.
- (2) The Act concerned is being administered by the Department of Lands.
asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:
- (1) Whether his attention has been drawn to recent complaints in the Press in regardto delays and non-delivery of mail in Walmer and Port Elizabeth; and
- (2) whether he will have the matter investigated; if not, why not.
(1) and (2) Yes; my attention has been drawn to exaggerated Press reports of delays and the non-delivery of mail in Port Elizabeth and Walmer. Notwithstanding a public request by the Divisional Controller, complaints by only two persons were lodged.
There is, in fact, no delay in the delivery of mail matter in that area where the overall position can be regarded as quite normal and satisfactory.

—Reply standing over.
asked the Minister of Health:
As the subject-matter of the Department’s investigations will only be discussed at a meeting of the General Purposes Committee of the City Council during the second week in May, the matter has unfortunately not yet been finalized.
asked the Minister of Public Works:
As stated in my reply of 28 January 1964, drawings of the proposed new buildings are being prepared. The completion thereof and of the tender documents for a scheme of this magnitude must of necessity take time and it is consequently not possible to give any indication at this juncture as to when construction could commence.
Arising out of that reply, is the hon. Minister aware that in June 1962 the hon. the Minister of Justice said that this project so far as his Department was concerned was regarded as priority number one, and if so, does he consider that the length of time that is being taken to set the project in motion is reasonable?
I am afraid, Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of what the hon. Minister of Public Works is aware of.
asked the Minister of Community Development:
Yes. The date will be determined with due regard to the circumstances as set out in my oral reply to Question No. XI of Tuesday, 28 April 1964, put to me by the hon. member.
The Department of Housing is in touch with the inhabitants of Isipingo Beach by means of its regional office at Durban and if there should be any problems they may put them to the Department.
Arising out of the hon. Minister’s reply, the question I asked the hon. Minister was as to when he will determine the date. That portion of the question has not been replied to.
That will depend on the circumstances I described in my previous reply.
Arising out of the further reply of the hon. Minister, is he aware that rumours and counter-rumours are rife …
Order!
The MINISTER OF HOUSING replied to Question No. *III, by Mrs. Suzman, standing over from 21 April.
- (1) Whether (a) policemen and (b) prison staff found guilty of assault on witnesses or prisoners are in all cases dismissed from the service; if not, (i) under what circumstances are their services retained and (ii) in how many cases during each year since 1960 have services been so retained; and
- (2) whether any (a) policemen and (b) prisonstaff were reinstated after dismissal for assault; if so, how many in each of these years.
- (1) (a) and (b) No.
- (a) (i) and (b) (i) If a Board of Inquiry in terms of the Police Act or the Prisons Act finds that they are suitable for further service.

For written reply:
asked the Minister of the Interior:
- (1) When were representations in regard to (a) the payment of a Transkei allowance to officials of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs and (b) the application of the revised promotion rule in respect of postmen laid before the Public Service Commission; and
- (2) whether the Commission has made any recommendations in regard to these matters; if so, (a) when and (b) what recommendations; if not, (i) when is the Commission’s reply expected and (ii) what are the reasons for the delay.
- (1) (a) On 9 December 1963 and 5 March 1964 from the Postmaster-General and on 14 February 1964 direct from the S.A. Telecommunications Association.
- (b) The reply to this part of the question will have to stand over as full particulars are not yet available.
- (2) (a) and (b) The Public Service Commission has investigated the matter in regard to the payment of an allowance to officials who are not seconded to the Transkeian Government and reported to the Cabinet as follows on 7 April 1964:
- (a) There is a distinct difference between the circumstances in respect of the service of officials seconded to the Transkeian Government and serving under the authority of a non-White Government and those of officials of other Departments including the Departments of Posts and Telegraphs who are still performing their normal functions in the Transkei as before under the authority of their Departments in the Republic. It should be specially noted that the transfer of officials seconded is of a relatively temporary nature while non-Whites are being trained to take over the work.
- (b) The implication of extending the allowance to officials who are not seconded to the Transkeian Government would be that officals in other non-European areas or even other remote places in the Republic would have a similar claim.
- In view of the circumstances and implications mentioned the Cabinet could not see its way clear to approve an extension of the allowances concerned to other officials, including officials of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs.
- (i) and (ii) Fall away.
asked the Minister of Bantu Administration and Development:
- (1) Whether frontier control points have been set up opposite the borders of (a) Angola, (b) Northern Rhodesia, (c) Southern Rhodesia, (d) Mozambique, (e) Swaziland, (f) Bechuanaland, (g) Basutoland and (h) the Transkei; and
- (2) (a) how many new posts were created on the establishment of his Department during the past two years for more effective border control and (b) what are the designations of these posts.
Presumably the hon. member has passport control posts in mind in which event the reply is:
- (1) (a), (b), (c), (d) and (h) No.
- (e), (f), and (g) Yes.
- (2) (a) and (b):
- Principal Administrative Officer: 1 post.
- Senior Administrative Officer: 3 posts.
- Senior Outdoor Officer: 11 posts.
- Outdoor Officer, Grade I: 13 posts.
- Outdoor Officer, Grade II: 21 posts.
- Bantu Sergeant: 7 posts.
- Bantu Constable: 54 posts.
- Bantu Cook: 3 posts.
- Bantu Labourers: 5 posts.
In amplification of (1) I must point out that the Department of Interior has for years provided passport control facilities at Mafeking, Messina and Komatipoort.
asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:
- (1) Whether he has received any representations in regard to the salary and status of the Deputy Postmaster-General; if so, (a) from whom, (b) on what date, (c) what was the nature of the representations and (d) what was his reply; and
- (2) whether he has taken steps in regard to the matter; if so, what steps; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes.
- (a) The Postal and Telegraph Association of South Africa.
- (b) On 6 March 1964.
- (c) A request for the higher salary grading of the post of Deputy Postmaster-General.
- (d) That the request was receiving attention.

asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:
- (1) Whether he has introduced or intends to introduce a certified mail service; if so, (a) when and (b) what are the particulars of the service; and
- (2) whether this service will be made available to bodies other than Government bodies; if so, (a) to what bodies, (b) on what conditions and (c) when; if not, why not.
- (1) Yes. (a) 1 April 1964 and (b) the service is confined to Government Departments and Provincial Administrations in substitution of the registration service for official mail matter which has no intrinsic value and which does not have to be registered in accordance with a statutory requirement, but in respect of which acquittances from the addressees are nevertheless desired.
- (2) The extension of the service to the general public will be considered at a later date.
asked the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs:
The value of all postal orders of which the validity has expired is repayable to senders where they make application and furnish good reasons therefor.
asked the Minister of Transport:
- (1) (a) Where was the ship RSA built and (b) when was it delivered;

- (2) Yes, as regards the Government appointees, viz. Senator D. H. van Zyl, Dr. C. F. Albertyn, Prof. C. G. S. de Villiers, Mr. F. J. Wagener, Dr. W. E. G Louw, Prof. M. R. Drennan.
- (a) It has been decided to reappoint the Government appointees.
- (b) The appointment of the Government appointees rests with me in terms of Section 2 (1) of Act No. 23 of 1931 and Regulation 5 of the regulations framed under the said Act and as published by Government Notice No. R.1954, dated 13 December 1963. In terms of these legal provisions the appointment of members of the board by me constitutes a discretion given me by Parliament. There is no provision that I am accountable to any party in exercising this discretion.
First Order read: Committee Stage,—Participation Bonds Bill.
I move—
Agreed to.
House in Committee:
On Clause 2,
This clause, particularly in respect of sub-section (1), provides for registration of participation bonds. There is no doubt that the intention is that registration should be in the Deeds Registry, but that is not stated in the clause, and it seems to me that it ought to be so that the matter is put beyond doubt. I therefore move as an amendment—
It is quite obvious that the participation bond itself, that is the main bond, must be registered in the Deeds Office. I have got no objection to the addition of those words to make it quite clear, as that was the intention.
Amendment put and agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On Clause 5,
I wish to move—
The object of the first amendment is to provide that the form of the register must be approved by the Registrar. This clause provides for a register to be kept in the registered office of the participation bond company and it requires that the register shall contain the following particulars: In regard to each participation bond the amount owing from time to time by the mortgagor under such bond, the names of the participants and the extent of their participations from time to time and the rules of the scheme in which such bond is included. Mr. Chairman, a register can have various forms. In modern practice it is quite possible to imagine a register which consists of a file containing the particulars of the client whose funds are held, a ledger card in the form generally used by a bank where machines are used, and this bank form not only contains certain particulars but also transactions affecting a particular person’s account, the original of which would be retained as part of the record to the nominee company, a duplicate being sent from time to time to the customer, that is the participation bond holder. As the clause now reads it is not clear whether the whole register should be a single document, a single book, or whether a loose-leaf form would be approved, and whether a form of record which would contemplate modern mechanical methods would be allowed. I suggest that if this first amendment to insert “in a form approved by the Registrar” is inserted then it will be for the company concerned to submit its form to the Registrar and once that form has been approved of. those records would then be in the approved form in terms of this clause. As the clause is worded now it does not indicate what kind of register will be approved, and one can very well understand a departmental official—I hope there are none of that type in the Minister’s Department— demanding that the register should be in the form of a book in which all the particulars are collected together. I have in mind one particular company which has over 5,000 participation bondholders and all those certificate holders’ records are in a form of loose-leaf cards. They contemplate changing over to a mechanical form, and it will be quite impracticable to have on that form all these details. It would be auite impracticable to have on one card that is filed all the particulars in regard to each participation bond, the extent of the amount owing from time to time by the mortgagor under such bonds, the names of the participants in such bond and the rules of the scheme in which such bond is included. Those would be collated in a series of documents, depending on the form of accounting, the form of records obtaining in that particular office. There will be other cases where they may not have mechanical aids, where they would have written documents. I am thinking there of a small organization where everything can be contained in one register, one document. For that reason I suggest that the Minister should accept my amendment. Then the onus would be on the company concerned to submit their form of register to the Registrar and if the Registrar is satisfied, then that form of record will be an approved form.
I now come to the next amendment in favour of periodic and annual inspections. The clause as it now reads says, “A register, which shall be subject to annual audit, and in which shall be recorded …”. If my amendment is accepted it will read “subject to periodic and annual audit”. The object of this is to allow the auditors to do periodic audits as well as the annual audit. If there are any difficulties in a company, quite often timeous inspection by auditors can prevent deterioration in the compliance by the company of the requirements of the Act. If there is an annual audit, one can imagine a state of affairs where the auditor will not be required to appear and perform the audit until after the end of the company’s financial year, and one could imagine a state of affairs particularly in a company which is exoeriencing difficulties, asking the auditors to delay their audit because the books are not yet ready. I feel that the auditor should be in the position to call on a company at any time to do a periodic audit, so as to satisfy himself that the affairs of the company are being conducted in a manner contemplated by the framers of this Act. For that reason I hope the hon. Minister will accept both amendments.
As far as the first amendment is concerned, the clause reads “every manager shall keep at its registered office or its or his place of business or such other place or places as the Registrar may approve, on such conditions as he may determine, a register which shall be subject to annual audit …. In other words, as I read it, the register must be kept on such conditions as the Registrar may determine. That would include the form of the register. The form must be approved by the Registrar, because that is one of the conditions which the Registrar may impose. These words must clearly refer to the form as well. Perhaps if the words were placed after “a register” it might have been clearer. The hon. member will see that in the Afrikaans it says “elke bestuurder moet op ’n plek wat die Registrateur goedkeur op die voorwaardes wat hy bepaal ’n register hou”. In other words, one of the conditions which he can impose is the form of the register. I think the whole matter is covered.
The hon. member then wants to insert the word “periodic” in regard to audits. Here it seems to me that the hon. member has not taken into account Clause 12, which provides—
So the annual report is not the only report. There may be other reports during the course of the year if circumstances demand it. I think that is covered too, by the wording of Clause 12. But again I want to ask hon. members, in a technical matter of this nature, instead or arguing the matter over the floor of the House, it would be so much better to go into it with the office of the Registrar. It is very difficult for me. I am giving my opinion as I read the clause, and I can promise to go into it further, but I do not see that we can debate it over the floor of the House. I cannot see that any good purpose is served by that. I appealed to hon. members yesterday, if they had any difficulties in regard to this matter, to discuss it with me or with Mr. Louw on behalf of the Registrar’s office. As far as I am now informed, both of these amendments could really have been disposed of by seeking explanations, and if the explanations were not satisfactory, by a further investigation of the matter. At present I am merely saying that I, reading this clause as it is, together with Clause 12, think that both these matters are already covered, and if we provide for a matter which is already covered it amounts not only to inelegant drafting but it may lead to other difficulties.
I agree with the Minister to a certain extent that it might be helpful to discuss these matters with the Department, but I want to point out that the second reading of the Bill was only held yesterday and the Minister’s officials were busy on another Bill. So I think the Minister is a little unreasonable to suggest that we should have got into touch with the officials concerned. The Minister draws my attention to Clause 12 with regard to the special audit. The auditor is only called in when the Department raises the matter with the manager of the institution. What I am trying to ensure is that the auditor shall have the power to call in on that business at any time of the year, and I am doing it to help the Minister, and not to make matters difficult for him. If the Minister wants a good Bill which is adequately administered, surely it is to his advantage and that of his officials if the auditor could visit that company during the course of the year, because of the psychological effect of regular visits or even irregular visits by the auditor; it will have the effect of keeping the staff up to date if they know that the auditor can come in at any time to perform a portion of his audit to ensure that the requirements of the Act are being carried out.
The point made by the hon. member for Pinetown (Mr. Hopewell) is in my view not met by Clause 12. The point, as I see it, is this. Clause 5 gives the power to auditors to audit the register of participants in bonds. That was pointed out by the hon. member for Pinetown in his second-reading speech yesterday. We consider this to be very important, because that is really the only protection which participants will have. The point is this, that if you do not have the participants registered in the Deeds Registry, in the participation bond which is registered, then you must ensure that the register of participants kept by managers is properly kept, because the rights of participants to a large extent stem from that register of participants. Now if the manager of a trust company is not doing his job properly and is a little lax about registerins the substition of participants, those participants who ouput to have been substituted are prejudiced, and the only way of protecting them is to allow the auditor to audit periodically at his discretion.
Clause 12 deals with a different situation. It obliges a manager to furnish information at the request of the Registrar. That is a necessary and good provision, but it does not deal with the point raised by the hon. member for Pinetown. So I would ask the Minister to accept this amendment.
In regard to the first amendment moved by the hon. member for Pinetown, the English version of Clause 5 (1) is not as well worded as it could be and I think it requires some change. Perhaps what would meet the position would be to say that every manager shall keep a register in a form approved by the Registrar at its registered office, etc. I suggest that as it is worded at the moment, the portion dealing with the approval of conditions is out of place, and therefore it does not make clear the point which is intended to be made by the clause, namely, that it is the register that has to be approved. I suggest that it should be reworded.
As far as the periodic inspection by the auditor is concerned, as I have said, I have no objection to it, but my difficulty is that if we have those words here there is no provision as to how that audit is to take place. In Clause 10 there is provision for the annual audit, but this thing will hang in the air. May I suggest that, bearing in mind what the hon. member wants and that Clause 12 relates only to an audit initiated by the Registrar, and that the hon. member wants the auditor himself to have the right to go in, that I consider it and perhaps move the necessary amendments in the Other Place. I have no objection to more than one report by the auditor, but you have to provide what he has to do in that audit, as is provided in Section 10 in regard to the annual audit. I will go into the matter.
If the Minister is prepared to consider it in the Other Place, I am prepared to withdraw the amendment in regard to the periodic audit. I want to make it quite clear that I am not asking for additional audits; I am only asking that the auditor should be allowed to go there at any time in order to protect the investor and to assist the Minister in maintaining adequate control. That is the whole object of this amendment. If the Minister would consider that, so that the auditor will not be kept out of the place until the end of the year but can do a portion of his audit during the year, that will meet the purpose of my amendment.
I will consider that, but the other one I cannot accept because I think it is really tautologous.
I am prepared to withdraw both amendments.
With leave, amendments withdrawn.
Clause, as printed, put and agreed to.
On Clause 9,
I move the amendment as printed—
This is just an additional amendment which is necessitated by the fact that I propose later on to apply the provisions of the Unit Trusts Control Act to South West Africa as well.
Agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On Clause 10,
I should like the Minister to give us his views on sub-section (3) (b) (ii), which says that where he is unable to satisfy himself that the latest valuation of the immovable property mortgaged appears to cover adequately the interests of the participants, he must report in writing to the manager. I should like the Minister to explain what he contemplates by “latest valuation”. There might be the case of a bond being granted and the valuation may have been done five or seven years before. Most of these bonds are for a five-year period. Will the Minister regard a valuation done five years before as satisfactory? Does he contemplate those bonds being examined by the directors of the company, and does he contemplate independent valuations? It is not clear. It just requires the auditor to report that he has satisfied himself that the latest valuation appears to cover adequately the bond holders. The auditor is virtually being asked to give an opinion as to the value of the property and whether he regards it as adequate. I can imagine a state of affairs where the bond was R75,000 and the valuation was R100,000, and within a matter of a year or two there may have been a new determination under the Group Areas Act which may materially have affected the value of that property. Is the auditor expected to give an opinion as to whether he thinks that adequate, or is he expected to ask for a later valuation? Values can fluctuate considerably from one year to another, particularly where a municipality has rezoned an area. I asked the Minister to clarify the position. It appears to us that the wording requires further explanation.
I want to speak on the same point, what the “valuation” means from the practical point of view. Normally a bond is granted after the directors have agreed on the value of the property. The word “valuation” would have to be expanded here, because what normally happens in practice is that periodically the property is inspected by directors and inspectors employed by these companies, and the report comes back either confirming the valuation or not, and when the property is inspected, it is inspected from the point of view of whether it is being kept in order or whether there are a lot of vacancies or whether the neighbourhood has deteriorated. I feel personally that it would be an impossible burden to put on the auditor to ask him to satisfy himself as to the valuation. I suggest that this should be amended somehow. I have not drafted any amendment. I agree with my colleague that we certainly have not had time to discuss these matters with the officials since yesterday.
Another matter which arises when considering this question of valuation is that payments may have fallen into arrear, and that would probably be reported on by the auditor under (c). But it is very difficult to fathom what the use of this particular section will be if an independent valuation has to be given and payments have not fallen into arrear. There is normally no provision in the bond for calling up the money, as, as long as the borrower meets his payments, the bond stands. That point is probably covered by (c), but I suggest that this question of valuation be given further consideration. I think it should be a valuation by the board of the company, and it would not be a bad idea if it stipulates that each property must be inspected annually to see that it has not deteriorated to any great degree. But as the clause now stands I foresee all sorts of difficulties.
We are now discussing sub-section (3) (b) (ii), which says that the latest valuation of the immovable property mortgaged appears to cover adequately the interest of the participants. This form of wording has been specifically requested by the Auditors’ Board, as it is in accordance with their duties under the law. They have asked for it in this form, and I think the reason is this. When the first bond is registered by the Registrar of Deeds, there is a valuation. There is no provision for periodic valuations, but in many cases, as the hon. member for Benoni has pointed out, there may be a later valuation and the auditor can then have regard to that later valuation, and not the original one on which the bond was registered.
Will this word “valuation” then be construed by the auditor as being a valuation by the board of directors of the company itself?
Not necessarily by the company itself. I do not know. It refers to any later valuation that may be available, and it will of course have to be a sworn valuation. That is the condition that will be made. I mentioned yesterday that the idea is that whenever valuations are mentioned here it means sworn valuations. The auditor will consider the most recent valuation of that property.
Unfortunately the matter is not as simple as that. Let us take the case of a building bond. The ground is valued, maybe at the purchase price. The officials of the lending company work out the costs, if there are no tenders, and there never is a sworn valuation. The valuation is made by the board of directors of the company lending the money and in many instances there is no sworn valuation. I suggest that a sworn valuation gets us nowhere. If you do not fix a date, the sworn valuation might be ten years old, or in the case of a building bond it might not be in existence. Then you are forcing these people to incur additional expense. The sworn valuators will of course be very pleased, but I repeat that the normal and essential method is for the board of directors to have the original valuation, either a sworn valuation or one based on the purchase price of the land plus the cost of the building, before them. When they go out to inspect they know what it has been valued at by the company. If you say there must be a sworn valuation, you will force these properties, absolutely unnecessarily, to be valued by sworn valuators, which is quite expensive, and I do not see where it gets us. Why must it be a sworn valuation? That property is valued on its return or on its sale price. That is the initial valuation. Why must you have a sworn valuation on top of that?
The clause as it stands here has been framed quite satisfactorily. I think it beloves any firm of auditors to accept such a valuation. If an auditor has a sworn valuation before him, and he is not satisfied with it, he is at liberty to obtain another sworn valuation. There are circumstances in which I would not accept a sworn valuation which is higher than the valuation of the directors because the directors, as a result of their superior knowledge of conditions and other factors, are able to make a valuation which is just as good as or even better than the valuation placed upon property by a sworn valuator. I do not think we should lay down that it must be a sworn valuation because this might hamper one in practice. Sworn appraisers are sometimes not available. That is why I think hon. members should agree to leave the clause unchanged. Auditors are responsible people. If the value of the property is not what they certify it to be, action can be taken against them. That is why I think this sub-section should remain just as it is.
The difficulty in regard to this clause is that it does not contemplate many buildings which are financed by companies dealing in this type of business. In most of our big towns you find a development company buying an old house or piece of ground and erecting shops and flats because they anticipate that that will be a good investment. But afterwards that district may change, but so far as these people are concerned who bought the original property, they have called for tenders and built a substantial building, and by the time the bond has been raised and the building has been completed there still has been no sworn valuation at all, because they are satisfied with the returns they can expect.
But what about the company granting the bond?
The Minister obviously does not follow the practice. The company granting the mortgage is this company. They have a whole lot of clients and they have told them that this is a good proposition. Take the Foreshore. If the Minister goes to the Foreshore, he will see a building completed and almost the whole of the ground floor which consists of shops has been vacant for the last two years. When those people built that property they did not expect the shops to stand empty. Now the finance company will say to their various participants: We have a proposition here to build this block of flats and offices and shops in this particular area and it will cost R500,000, and we expect the shops to yield so much revenue and the offices so much and the flats so much. They get the various investors to participate in the bond and they raise a bond of R350,000, and subsequently the district changes. The shops are not let and therefore the directors are reluctant to spend any more money than is necessary to keep the property in order. A whole period of ten years may have gone by, and after five years new participants have come in, and still there has been no valuation. Now you are throwing on the auditor the responsibility of saying he must take the latest valuation, but there has been no valuation for ten years. Is the auditor in the clear now because he has accepted a valuation, being the original cost of the land plus the cost of the building? That is our difficulty. The auditor is not required to get an independent valuation himself. All he needs to do is to say that the latest valuation he has available is that the land was bought ten years ago at such a figure and the building cost so much, for which he has the architect’s certificate, but that may not be the latest valuation because the locality has changed and there has been deterioration of the building, and the building may possibly be worth less than it was ten years ago. There have been cases like that, and I suggest that there are difficulties in this clause, difficulties which were perhaps not contemplated by the people who drafted it.
Sir, I come back to the point I was making, but, before doing so, Sir, I want you to remember that this Bill is being introduced to protect the rights of the individual participant in the bond, to see that the portion of the asset which is bonded is there as his security. I will take that a little further: If he is unfortunate enough to have put his money into what turns out to be a bad bond— it does not happen very often—then, in the ordinary course of events, he is unlucky; we in this House cannot protect him against that, because mistakes can be made and will be made, but they do not happen very often in these big institutions that we are dealing with. We are trying to protect the individual, but now we are getting to the stage where it is not appreciated that the initial valuation is done by the board of directors of the lending company concerned. They value the property before they grant the bond. They will not grant a bond which is more than a certain proportion of the value of the property. In the building societies it is laid down that it is 70 per cent and 75 per cent. They will not grant a bond of more than 70 per cent or 75 per cent or 60 per cent of the valuation that they themselves put on the property at the date on which they grant the bond. Surely that is their responsibility, and you are not going to interfere with business to that extent. Why should there be a subsequent sworn valuation? To me it is utterly absurd. You trust these people to make the initial valuation, and you authorize them under the law to take money from other people and lend it out in this manner; you have brought this Bill into being to see that they keep a correct register to protect the interests of individuals who are participating in the bond, and now you are putting all sorts of difficulties in the way; you say that the people who originally made the valuation are not capable of making the valuation, under this clause, if you do not allow the auditor to accept their valuation. To bring in a sworn valuation, to my mind, is utterly ridiculous. It is cutting across the whole idea of this Bill. You are not setting out to prove the value of the property; you are setting out to see that the individual’s right is protected, that the right of the participant is protected. I repeat that the people who agreed to give the bond are the ones who valued the property originally, and the methods they adopt do not have to be enlarged upon; they are the same everywhere. They are good enough to value the property initially and to decide whether this money belonging to other people should be lent, and now the proposition is to bring in a sworn appraiser. What for? Surely, if they report that the property has been inspected and that the valuation is confirmed, that is all that is necessary, without putting the companies to additional expense and trouble.
I do not know whether we are at cross-purposes or whether we just do not want to understand one another. The hon. member who has just sat down made an insinuation which I do not like, but I would rather not go into it. This clause provides—
I ask myself: What is the function of the auditor? Take the case of a mortgage bond in which quite a number participate, but they do not know whether the money invested by them is adequately covered or not. It is the function of the auditor to audit the books and to ensure that the man who invested his money has adequate security. The clause provides that if the auditor is not satisfied with the latest valuation, whether it is a day or a year or ten years old, if he is not satisfied that the security offered is adequate, he must report that fact to the manager. What is wrong with that? That is the duty of the auditors; that is why one has an auditor. The auditor acts on behalf of all the shareholders or interested persons. That is why one appoints a professional person who has the knowledge to be able to ascertain what the position is. Let us assume that there are five participants in a mortgage bond. If one of them had the right to go through all the books himself and to ask all the questions that the auditor would ask, I am sure he would say: “I have invested my money in this mortgage; is the valuation that was made ten years ago the correct valuation; are the circumstances still the same; has the value of the property increased or decreased?” He would ask precisely the same questions and he would then say to the manager: “This shop has been standing empty for a certain length of time”, or “This property has depreciated in value as a result of the proclamation of this area as a group area”. He would ask precisely the same questions that an auditor would ask. I think hon. members opposite are viewing this matter in the wrong light. After all, it is the function of the auditor to protect the interests of the participants. I do not want the clause to be amended in such a way that less responsibility will rest on the shoulders of the auditor. I think what we are doing here is to protect the public.
I just want to say that I am very loath to depart from a form approved by the Auditors’ Board. They want the clause framed in this way, and I am not impressed by what hon. members opposite have said here. The hon. member for Pine town (Mr. Hopewell) has outlined all the risks. But, Sir, those are risks which are identical with those in the conventional mortgage bond. Depreciation of your property for various reasons over the years is an ordinary risk that you take when you give a bond. As far as the question of valuation is concerned, I should have imagined that it gives the individual greater protection by insisting that the initial valuation must be a sworn valuation. If I have to give a bond over a new building I will certainly say that, before I decide what amount I am going to give, I want a sworn valuation, which might be my own valuation. I am not simply going to accept the facts given to me by the mortgagor—the owner of the buildings.
What about the building bond?
Before the building is erected.
Even then I would give a building bond on the basis of the known facts and the conditions prevailing at that time.
Where does the sworn valuator come in now?
I cannot at that moment foresee what is going to happen. What happens in the case of building bonds is that most of these large financial institutions have their own sworn valuators on their staff, and they will certainly put the matter to them. I think that is an additional safeguard. I cannot understand how hon. members opposite can say that they do not want that. The risks are there, but they apply to the conventional mortgage as well as to this particular form of mortgage that we are providing for here. I am not prepared to depart from a form which has had the specific approval of the Auditors’ Board.
Clause put and agreed to.
On new clause to follow Clause 14,
I move—
- (a) to the Companies Act, 1926 (Act No. 46 of 1926), or to any provision thereof, shall be construed as a reference to Companies Ordinance. 1928 (Ordinance No. 19 of 1928), of the territory of South West Africa, or to the corresponding provision thereof; and
- (b) to the Registrar of Companies shall be construed as a reference to the Registrar of Companies appointed under the Companies Ordinance, 1928, of the said territory.”
I explained the reason for this yesterday. We are merely extending the provisions of the Unit Trusts Control Act to South West Africa.
Agreed to.
On Clause 16,
I move the amendment as printed—
I also explained the reason for this amendment in my second-reading speech yesterday. It is purely because of administrative reasons that it cannot be brought into operation immediately.
Agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
Title of the Bill put and agreed to.
House Resumed:
Bill reported with amendments.
Second Order read: Resumption of third-reading debate,—Coloured Persons Representative Council Bill.
[Debate on motion by the Minister of Coloured Affairs, upon which an amendment had been moved by Sir de Villiers Graaff, adjourned on 30 April, resumed.]
The hon. the Leader of the Opposition was good enough to inform me yesterday that he could not be here this morning because of certain urgent business, and so I understand his being absent. He started by referring to me as a person who took great pleasure in building “empires”. Mr. Speaker, I do not know where those “empires” are; all I know is that I have a few Departments which are dealing efficiently with the problems which they have to face. If this is “empire” building, then I prefer to be called an empire builder. But because the hon. the Leader of the Opposition has given me this personal testimonial, I also want to give him one and that is to say that he is certainly not the builder of a party. While I may be building empires, he is destroying parties!
Yes, the Nationalist Party.
I take it that the hon. the Leader of the Opposition is destroying the National Party by sending his recruits over to join it! But I leave the matter at that. I want to deal with a few of the arguments raised here by the hon. the Leader of the Opposition. I asked myself why the hon. the Leader of the Opposition should participate in the debate on the third reading. This is something completely out of the ordinary. He did not participate in the discussion on any of the previous stages of this Bill; in fact, he was very seldom here. But he suddenly decided that he wanted the third reading of this Bill to be taken as soon as possible so that he could participate in the discussion on it before he left. The hon. the Leader of the Opposition was followed—not by the hon. member for Gardens (Mr. Connan) because it was quite by chance that he again participated in the debate yesterday—by the hon. member for Transkeian Territories (Mr. Hughes). He was also suddenly precipitated into the debate. It then became very clear to me that the Opposition felt that unless they did something at the third reading in order to save face, they would not be able to look the country squarely in the eyes after their actions here. I am afraid that the hon. the Leader of the Opposition did not succeed in removing that impression simply by participating in the debate; and the hon. member for Transkeian Territories to whom I shall also devote some time in a moment, did not succeed in removing that impression either. Their participation in the debate therefore did not change the impression which the country has gained because of their conduct in this connection.
Mr. Speaker, I do not want to do what hon. members opposite have done—to quote letters and to read out what has been said by some Coloured leader or other. I just want to tell hon. members that while this debate was in progress I had the occasion one week-end to visit certain towns in the Western Cape for various reasons. I was asked by the Coloured communities of those towns to give them a hearing although I had visited those towns for other reasons. I wish hon. members could have seen the reception that I was given by hundreds of Coloureds at each one of those places! Not only was I received enthusiastically there but they were most profuse in their thanks to the Department of Coloured Affairs for what it is doing. In other words, this tale about the unfair treatment of the Coloureds and about the stirring up of hatred is just so much nonsense. The Coloureds themselves no longer believe those hon. members and I want to tell them that they are not doing South Africa a service by trying to stir up a spirit of this nature. Nor are they doing themselves a service; they are only harming their party by acting in this way.
But in the second place, the hon. the Leader of the Opposition omitted to reply to important questions which were put to him during the course of this debate. I think the fact that he participated in the debate imposed an obligation on him to give us the answers to those questions, but he omitted to do so. What was his attitude? He rejected completely the policy of the Government through the medium of the hon. member for Gardens who said: “We reject the policy of parallel development.” The hon. the Leader of the Opposition told us that his policy was the only sound policy in South Africa. But if we have to accept their point of view, if we have to depart from our policy which we are consolidating and accept United Party policy, then I want to ask the question again which I asked during my reply to the second-reading debate, and I hope that the United Party will give South Africa a very clear answer in this regard. Not only do they owe it to themselves; not only do they owe it to the Government but they owe it to the country as a whole; and not only do they owe it to the Whites but they also owe it to the Coloureds. My first question is this: The United Party wants to integrate the Coloured people with the Whites; they want to make the Coloureds part of White society, as the hon. member for Transkeian Territories told us again yesterday. How are they going to identify those Coloureds? How are they going to determine who a Coloured person is? I fail to see how they are going to be able to determine the Coloureds to be absorbed in the White communities in South Africa because they reject the Population Registration Act. They reject that Act which classifies Coloureds and which distinguishes Coloureds from White and Bantu. The United Party must now tell South Africa how they want to identify the Coloureds; how they are going to determine who these 1,500,000 Coloureds are whom they want to absorb in White society. Not only do they reject the Population Registration Act but they also reject compulsory separate residential areas.
How were they identified in the past?
I shall tell the hon. member how they were identified in the past. They were so badly identified that a large section of the Coloureds in the Western Cape and throughout the country inter-bred with the Bantu. Thousands of Coloureds lived in Bantu locations. Does the hon. member not know that? The second question I want to put to the hon. the Leader of the Opposition and the United Party in regard to which they owe South Africa a reply is this: How are they going to prevent the urban Bantu being included on their common voters’ roll through the medium of the less-developed and backward Coloured masses, because this is what will happen in terms of their policy?
But you are going to send them away.
The hon. member must not hide behind what we are going to do.
We want to know what you are going to do.
The hon. the Leader of the Opposition is trying to conceal our point of view. The question is, how are they going to protect the Coloureds from penetration by the urban Bantu and how are they going to prevent the Coloured from being the means by which the urbanized Bantu will eventually take over that common voters’ roll? As long as the United Party is unable to reply to South Africa in this regard, so long will the country not believe them. In the third place I want to ask the hon. the Leader of the Opposition how he justifies his common voters’ roll which, according to him, is the solution to the problem? How can he justify it when he lays down qualifications in regard to the common voters’ roll? What is his attitude then? If he lays down qualifications for his common voters’ roll, it will mean that the wealthy Coloured will become part of White society but that the poor Coloured will be cast out into the darkness. Does he want to throw them to the Bantu? He must answer those questions before he tries to destroy the policy of another party. How does he justify his common voters’ roll if at the same time he excludes the Coloureds in the Northern Provinces from it? The hon. the Leader of the Opposition had the opportunity to reply to me when I asked him this simple question during my reply to the second-reading debate: If Mr. Golding qualifies for the common voters’ roll in the Cape and he becomes an inspector of schools in the Transvaal, why should he no longer qualify there?
And what is happening now?
We are not in favour of a common voters’ roll for the Coloureds. We say that Mr. Golding qualifies in the Cape and in Natal and in the Transvaal and in the Free State for this Coloured council. The four representatives of the Coloureds in Parliament have nothing to do with the voters’ roll for this council, and I shall tell hon. members why. They are elected by those Coloured voters who were already registered voters when the principle of separate representation was adopted. The voters’ roll by means of which they are elected was not brought into being by this Government It is a voters’ roll which dates from the previous colonial era. The Opposition must not hold this Government responsible because it has maintained the voters’ roll of a previous régime.
The third question that I want to put to the United Party in this connection is this: How does the hon. the Leader of the Opposition justify his common voters’ roll if he excludes Coloured women?
That has been the position over the years.
The hon. member must not tell me that that has been the position over the years.
Because the Opposition have been in opposition over the years do they intend to remain in opposition indefinitely? No, the point is this: Here we have educated, qualified Coloured women who are teachers, who have started entering professional life, who are receiving university training. The United Party say that for the purposes of the common voters’ roll they will retain what remains of the old colonial régime but that they have no place for these educated Coloured women. They do not form part of White civilization in South Africa! What nonsense! Sir, as long as the hon. the Leader of the Opposition cannot answer these questions he must not come along here and say: “The Government is taking a step in the dark.” All I can say to that is: “The hon. the Leader of the Opposition is leading South Africa into darkness with his policy.” By means of his policy he is preparing the way for a bloodless take-over of the common voters’ roll by the Black masses.
Which Black masses?
The urban Bantu. Was the hon. member not listening to my argument just now? Until the United Party can refute this accusation they must not try to pit their strength against that of the Government party as far as its policy in connection with this Coloured problem is concerned.
Remember, the Bantu will enjoy more family life under our policy.
Family life on the mines as well?
Now he has nothing to say.
That hon. member must be careful when he makes interjections. I think that he should remain in this House for a few more years before he starts making interjections: In the second place, the hon. the Leader of the Opposition objected to Clauses 17 and 21 and he again quoted from a pamphlet issued by the Department of Information, a pamphlet in regard to which I have already replied. In the first place I do not want either to deny or repudiate that pamphlet but I must say that neither the hon. the Minister of Information nor I have ever seen that pamphlet in the form in which it appeared here. [Interjections.] Of course not. A Minister in South Africa has far more to do than to write pamphlets and articles. I do not reject that pamphlet but can you imagine, Mr. Speaker, that the hon. the Leader of the Opposition should quote a pamphlet of that nature here! The legislative powers of this council are very clearly defined in Clause 17, and the Opposition acknowledged that fact in the Committee Stage. In the Committee Stage they suggested that these legislative powers should not be granted by the State President because that would be too dangerous. They moved an amendment to the effect that this House should grant those legislative powers. In other words, they wanted to have a stronger guarantee that legislative powers would not be granted to this council. By their action they admitted that this council does have legislative powers. That is very clearly set out in Clause 17. This council will have legislative powers in regard to local authorities, rural areas, finances, welfare services and so forth. These things are defined, and in my introductory speech I stated emphatically that this was basic legislation. I said that other legislation would have to follow upon it, legislation which would be passed not by this House but by this Coloured Council which is to be established. We are giving the Coloured Council these powers under this basic legislation. We say that it will have specific legislative powers in regard to these matters that I have mentioned.
The hon. the Minister does not know his own Bill.
The second reply that I want to give is a reply which I find in the United Party’s own policy. Listen to what they have to say in this “Handbook for Better Race Relations”—
That is precisely what we are making provision for here—
What are we doing here? We are making provision whereby the Coloured people, in their own circle, will be able to handle their own affairs. But the hon. the Leader of the Opposition stands up and says that this is an evil thing. [Interjections.] I listened to hon. members opposite in silence; I hope that they will save their reactions till later. What does the hon. the Leader of the Opposition have to say further? He says—
I agreed with him. I have never said that it is representative. If it had been representative, we would not have changed it. We are amending the composition of the present council because we want to set up a more representative council. What is the point? They are now opposing the fact that we want to set up a more re-resentative council. As far as the argument of the hon. the Leader of the Opposition is concerned, I want to ask him whether these four Coloured representatives are representative of the Coloured people in that sense of the word? Some of those hon. members were elected unopposed. The hon. member for Karoo (Mr. Eden) wanted to stand against the hon. member for Outeniqua (Mr. Holland) but he did not. But is the fact that the hon. member for Outeniqua did not have to fight an election any reason for saying that he is not representative of that constituency? I say that he is representative of that constituency because the United Party had the fullest opportunity of opposing him. I say the same thing of the present members of this House who were elected unopposed. They were not opposed but is that any reason to say that they do not represent their constituencies? In that sense this present council is representative of a section of the Coloured voters and these four Coloured representatives in this House are representative of a section of the Coloured voters. The largest section of the Coloured population in South Africa is. however, unrepresented. There I agree with the hon. the Leader of the Opposition. What we are doing is to create a mouthpiece by which the whole of the Coloured population will be represented.
The hon. the Leader of the Opposition also quoted from the book written by the late Senator Fagan. He said that I did not quote it fully. I want to read some more quotations. I went over what I had said during the Second Reading debate. I think that in my reply I said that I admitted that the late Senator Fagan was an opponent of the policy of this Government. I admitted that. I did not try to use him in support of the policy of this Government. What I did was this: I quoted what he had to say in regard to two specific matters. The one was in regard to consultation in connection with which he adopted the attitude that the common voters’ roll—one man, one vote—was not necessarily the only way to have consultation. Secondly. I quoted him in regard to the present Coloured Council, and I want to do so again. I think that this is very important. The hon. the Leader of the Opposition rejects the Union Coloured Council. I should like to quote to him what the late Senator Fagan had to say about this council, about the present council—
This is the present council—
That was the opinion of the late Senator Fagan in regard to the attitude of the United Party. What are we doing now? We are doing away with secret sittings. These sittings are now going to be held in public. Secondly, we will have more elected than nominated members on that council. Thirdly it is a council which will represent Coloureds throughout the whole country, and not only a few who have certain qualifications. In other words, we are removing those features of the present council to which the hon. Senator Fagan objected. He went on to say—
It has not been done.
Just listen to that, Mr. Speaker! Are we to believe that in the year of Our Lord 1964 there can be people in this House who adopt such an attitude? Does the hon. member not understand what I am saying? What is he doing? We are removing all these shortcomings. The late Senator Fagan had this to say—
The hon. the Leader of the Opposition and his followers say that it is a “mockery”.
Because it takes the place of something else.
The hon. member must not try to think up answers now. I raised this matter in my reply to the Second Reading debate and although the hon. the Leader of the Opposition has had every opportunity to reply to me, he has not done so. He has remained silent. He has laid down smoke-screens! The hon. the Leader of the Opposition has another objection because he says: “There will be two channels to the Government representing the Coloured people—four Parliamentary representatives and the Representative Council. This will create chaos.” Why will it create chaos? These four hon. members can make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the point of view of that council. If they agree with them they can support that point of view in this House; if they do not agree with them, then they can oppose it in this House. It will then be so much easier for the Government to decide because it will be able to consider these two points of view. I do not think we will then be killing democracy! The hon. the Leader of the Opposition objects to the fact that we have various channels for hearing and debating certain points of view. What chaos will there be? Is there chaos in this House because various hon. members adopt various attitudes? The hon. the Leader of the Opposition must not put up such smoke-screens which only serve to reveal his lack of policy. He has asked me why I do not accept his challenge to hold a referendum. But was that the attitude of the hon. the Leader of the Opposition and his party when they moved an amendment to the motion for second reading? Did they then, through the hon. member for Gardens, move that we should first hold a referendum before we established this council? No, Sir, they said they wanted to have nothing to do with this “mockery”. They rejected it without a referendum. Why does he ask me to hold a referendum? Since when have they been so much in favour of a referendum? When we held a referendum on the question of a Republic for South Africa they opposed it right from the start.
What does that pamphlet have to say?
The pamphlet was issued after they had been defeated in regard to the referendum. The important question is not the referendum; the Opposition have an important question to answer. The attitude of the Government Party is this: The National Party does not permit Coloureds to become members of the party. In the second place, we do not appoint official candidates of the National Party to represent the Coloureds. We would welcome it if candidates come forward who are, broadly speaking, in agreement with our policy, but we do not want the Coloureds to become involved in our White party politics. That is our attitude. I want to put this question to the United Party: Are they going to put up candidates for this council—for this “mockery”? Are they going to participate in the elections for this council? They must reply to us. Even if they do not reply to us to-day, they must reply to the country soon in this regard. If they are going to participate then I say that it will be the height of political impropriety. I shall tell you why I say this, Sir. In the first place, they say that they reject this council. In other words, I must take it that they will abolish it if they come into power. I am sure they will not deny that they are going to participate in these elections and are already making arrangements to nominate candidates for election to this council. Do you know why, Sir? Not to help this council to function, bpt to help to destroy it! [Time limit.]
Question put: That the word “now” stand part of the motion,
Upon which the House divided:
Tellers: P. S. van der Merwe and M. J. de la R. Venter.
Tellers: N. G. Eaton and A. Hopewell.
Question affirmed and amendment dropped.
Motion accordingly agreed to and Bill read a Third Time.
Third Order read: Resumption of second-reading debate,—Housing Amendment Bill.
[Debate on motion by the Minister of Housing, adjourned on 30 April, resumed.]
Mr. Speaker, when the debate was adjourned yesterday I had indicated to the hon. the Minister that we were going to accept this Bill because its main aim, in our opinion, was to provide houses. I think everybody will realize that there is such a shortage of housing for most groups of the population at the moment that housing is something that we must really get on with. But that does not mean that we accept every provision of this Bill. There are some provisions to which we would like answers from the hon. the Minister. There are some to which we shall move amendments which can be discussed in the Committee Stage.
At this stage I should like to say that in some ways the Minister’s approach to this problem, as outlined in this Bill, is a little unfortunate. I think he should have looked for co-operation rather than coercion. The first question I should like to ask the Minister is in connection with Clause 2. In terms of that clause it is no longer a “must” to appoint a woman to the National Housing Commission. As the hon. the Minister knows at least one member had to be a woman in the past. I shall quote the section to the Minister—
- 2. (c) by the deletion of paragraph (b) of the said sub-section.
A woman has always had to be a member of this commission. Women are particularly adept at making suggestions and knowing what is required in a house which must accommodate a family. We in this House have accepted that fact; we have called in a woman to reorganize our own catering section. From the building point of view, I am quite sure it would be a very good thing indeed if that compulsion to have a woman on the commission were to remain. That is my reading of this sub-section; the Minister can correct me if I am wrong.
In Clause 4 we do not like the provision which enables the hon. Minister to alter the conditions of a loan with or without the consent of the local authority. The hon. Minister dealt with that to some extent in his introductory speech but it is a point which, we think, could perhaps be approached in a totally different manner. We are going to move an amendment to Clause 7. This clause provides for the appointment of regional committees and their constitution. This clause gives these committees the same powers as the main commission itself. Provision is made here for any decisions of the regional committees to be rescinded by the commission. That seems a peculiar attitude to adopt because if a regional committee has reached a decision which is as good as the decision of the commission itself, surely the Minister hopes that that decision will be acted upon as quickly as possible; the whole intention of this Bill is to have things implemented as quickly as possible. What is he going to do in cases where the commission rescinds those decisions, decisions which have already been acted upon?
We also do not like the provision in Clause 13, at least not in its present form, whereby the hon. the Minister can direct one local authority to supply services to a scheme which is being developed in the area of another authority. There is no reason why one local authority, which is able to provide services when another one is not, should not perhaps do so. Obviously a new scheme must have services. But surely, Sir, this could be done by way of co-operation rather than by way of a direction from the Minister. I think the Minister has many examples of co-operation before him where problems have been overcome other than by the method of directing people to do something. The provision of water, that all-important thing, is mentioned in this provision. What about water? Where a local authority is having difficulty in providing water for itself and the hon. the Minister decides to embark upon a scheme in an adjoining local authority, and finds that adequate water is not available for his scheme, is it right that he should have the power to direct the first local authority, which already has an inadequate water supply, to provide water for that scheme? Surely those are things that are investigated before a scheme is planned? If proper planning took place and the provision of these services was planned at the beginning and not at the end, because that is what this clause appears to provide for, surely it would have been quite unnecessary to have a provision such as this in the Bill.
I have mentioned the question of co-operation rather than coercion. The hon. the Minister, in his introductory speech, said that generally speaking there was co-operation but that a few local authorities and representative bodies did not agree with the Government’s policy and were not co-operative enough and that he wanted all these powers to overcome that lack of co-operation. In my experience on a local authority—it was not long, but long enough for me to get experience—the delays that took place were mainly caused by the Government and not by the local authority. We have a classic example of that. During my period of office on the City Council of Durban we had a case where the hon. the Prime Minister as Minister of Native Affairs held up the building of the Umlazi Bantu Township for 12½ years. When permission came through the houses were provided. The local authority wanted to provide those houses. I believe, generally speaking, all local authorities, who are concerned with the housing of their people, people of all racial groups, are keen and willing to supply housing for the various groups. But those are factors they have to take into consideration in their town planning. If the hon. Minister comes along and wants to superimpose a scheme which has not been considered in the Town Planning Office, he must expect that there will be a little arguing and negotiation and a little delay when the whole of the town-planning scheme of that local authority is altered to fit his scheme. You see, Sir, many of these schemes that the hon. Minister is envisaging now were never provided for in town planning, and so obviously there is going to be a difference of opinion. But surely that is a matter for negotiation and not a matter for coercion. That is my opinion, and I believe that the examples of what has been achieved in the way of housing of Bantu is something to be proud of. The hon. Minister of Bantu Administration is here. He knows that in a place like Johannesburg, which has a United Party town council, a lot has been achieved in the way of providing housing for the Bantu. I think the hon. Minister of Bantu Administration will agree with me that the bulk of that achievement has come about by way of co-operation and negotiation. Everybody wanted to build those houses and they have been provided to such a degree that it has become the show-piece of the Minister of Bantu Administration’s Department and visitors to this country are taken there and shown over that scheme, to show the outside world what has been achieved. There have been differences of opinion, but in the long run and on the overall picture, with the willingness on all sides and everybody aiming at the same objective, namely to provide housing, a lot has been achieved. But I believe that this unfortunate approach of the hon. Minister whereby he takes unto himself powers, because of the few who he says resist, to use coercion and the big stick, puts more obstacles in the way than it removes. You know, Sir. we have still ringing in our ears the threat of this hon. Minister last year to the Natal Provincial Council when he said that he was going to force them to do these jobs which he wanted them to do on the question of the group areas proclamation. He could have achieved that. He knows why there was a delay. The hon. member for Natal (South Coast) (Mr. D. E. Mitchell) told him. It was this question of town planning …
No, it was in connection with local authorities.
Yes. and also the holding up of the proclamation of group areas. I believe that this hon. Minister could achieve far more on a subject on which we are all agreed, the provision of housing, if he did it by co-operation rather than to incorporate these measures of coercion in this Bill.
Another aspect of this Bill I want to deal with and which I think is very important— and it is a reason, too, why we welcome the Bill—is that provision is made in this Bill to transfer to this Department of Housing those Acts which previously were administered by the Group Areas Development Board, in dealing with houses after a proclamation under the Group Areas Act. I think this is very important and I welcome the change, because in my opinion, and the opinion of most people who have had contacts with the G out Areas Development Board, the Group Areas Development Board has failed and has failed completely, and we sincerely hope that this change-over from the Group Areas Development Board in the handling of houses and schemes when once they have been proclaimed. will mean that we will now go ahead and get decisions made, which will save the country a lot of money, money which is being wasted at the moment. We hope they will get on with the job of providing houses and dealing properly with those houses. This side of the House has always asked for the development of this Government’s policy of group areas by housing schemes rather than by the force of a Group Areas Development Board. I believe this is a wonderful opportunity for this hon. Minister to employ these powers in regard to housing correctly in order to get a great deal more co-operation from all of the people affected by these proclamations. But there is one question in my mind and that is this: I want this hon. Minister to give us reasons why, having failed in the administration of group areas development as Minister of Community Development, he thinks that he is going to succeed in his capacity as Minister of Housing. I think he should give this House the reasons for the change-over. Secondly, he should tell us why he thinks that it will work under his Ministry of Housing where he could not make it work under his Ministry of Community Development. I want to deal with a couple of aspects. I have made this statement that I believe that the Group Areas Development Board has failed. I believe that it has been a very expensive failure, not only in dealing with housing units which are so vitally required, but I believe also that it has cost this country a lot of money. Let me try and give one or two examples. There are very many more I can quote, but I want to give this House a sufficient idea of what I mean when I say that this board has failed.
Let us take the question of “letting”. This Bill empowers the housing section now to handle the question of letting. To get this in true perspective, what happened when an area was proclaimed and a member of the disqualified group wanted to dispose of his property? He got an offer. When he had that offer, it had to be submitted to this board and then they decided whether they wanted to exercise their pre-emptive right or not. It is rather a strange feature. Sir, that in areas such as Isipingo Beach, for example, they exercise that pre-emptive right in almost every case, which means that although that area has been proclaimed for Indian ownership and occupation, very few Indians have been able to buy houses. The figures I got in Durban at the beeinning of this week show that approximately 24 houses had been sold to people who have made offers, but some 67 houses have been bought by the Group Areas Development Board. I may be a little out either one way or the other, but the point is that something like two-and-a-half times the number of houses that have been sold to private individuals have been bought in by the Group Areas Development Board. I do not know why that is so. But I want to put this to the hon. the Minister, that a practice has developed in the Group Areas Development Board that I hope will be stopped forthwith by the Department of Housing. That practice is that when they exercise their pre-emptive right there are cases in which the Group Areas Development Board has gone back to the person who made the offer to purchase and has re-offered him that same property at a higher price. This is a practice which I think is a shocking practice, because the Group Areas Development Board was not created for that purpose. I do not know who in future is going to make the decision whether the pre-emptive right should be exercised or not. Is it again to be the Group Areas Development Board or is that also going to be taken over by the Housing Board? But the point is that the Group Areas Development Board takes half the profit, in other words, the amount over the determined value of the house—they share half the profit with the seller of the house. If they exercise their pre-emptive right, they still get half of the profit. But when they resell it they take all the profit above the purchase price which they have paid for it, and which they have sold, in some cases perhaps to the same purchaser. So they have it both ways, and I think this is something to which the hon. the Minister should apply himself, and it should be stopped forthwith.
Then there is the question of letting. Let me quote a practical example which has just been brought to my notice. It is the case of a pensioner in the same Isipingo Beach area. His pension is R50 a month. He had purchased a home of his own and on that R50 per month he could afford to stay in it because he did not have to pay rent. Now the proclamation has come along saying that he is a disqualified person and he has to get out of Isipingo Beach at some time or another. Maybe he has not to get out immediately. But obviously he has to sell his house if he gets an offer which is reasonable. He got an offer and he took it along to the board, and they exercised their pre-emptive right and purchased it. Why they purchased it, I do not know, because they told him that he could stay in it, but the rental they wanted from him was R40 a month.
Can you give me the details?
I will get all those particulars for the hon. Minister. That rental is determined on the basis of recovering the capital outlay, I understand, in a period of 12y years. That man could afford to stay on under the old circumstances, but obviously he cannot afford to pay R40 a month, leaving him RIO a month for food and clothing, and what have you. So he said “No, I have to get out, although I would like to stay”. Because, Sir, in Durban this week the price of cement has gone up from 7s. 4d. a bag to 10s. a bag. Bricks are almost unobtainable. And in any case, from the price realized by him he cannot afford to build another house. So he approached the authorities in Durban, and he said: “Look, when I move out of here, vandals are going to break the windows of this house, they are going to tear down the guttering and in a very short time it will have depreciated considerably in value. Why not let me stay on at a nominal rental, because you obviously have no use for this house at the moment. Let me stay on at a nominal rental and I will act as a caretaker and see that this house is not knocked about! ” They refused to do that. They said that their hands were tied and that they had no powers to do so. He had to get out and the very first week-end after that, every window in that house was smashed by vandals and a considerable amount of damage was done. Now this is not an isolated case at all. If you go and look at almost any property that is in the hands of the Group Areas Development Board, you will find that those houses are deteriorating at a rate which must be costing this country a lot of money. Why are they empty? Surely the proclamation is the-e to rehouse a group which needs housing. But the change-over is just not coming.
Now the Bill provides for the selling of these properties. What is happening and what has been happening in cases of sales of these properties? The board will not even take a client to see the house, because they say they are not allowed to transport people in Government motor vehicles. So they make an arrangement to meet the intending purchaser at the property. They will not give him the key to go and view the property himself. So this gentleman may drive out in a car, or has perhaps to catch a bus, and he meets them at the property. Have you ever heard of a business trying to sell property on that basis? And then when they get there, vandals have probably knocked the windows out of the house, torn down the guttering, etc. Sir, you know as well as I do the damage they can do to a house. And this is the property that is offered to this gentleman to purchase. When they took it over it obviously was worth the money that the board paid for it. But when it is offered for sale on the same price-basis, of course it is not worth that money at all.
There is another aspect I want to bring to notice in regard to the question of selling. This hon. Minister’s Department under this section took over a block of flats in Durban. This case was reported in the estate agents’ •monthly journal. They took over a block of flats by exercising their pre-emptive right. What did they do? They immediately put the rental up because they do not fall under rent control. Having done that, they reoffered those flats for sale and they found a purchaser, because it is a good block of flats in a good area. Fortunately for the intending purchaser at the last moment he found out that the moment he bought them they would fall back under rent control, and that the price that he was being asked for them would no longer be an economical price. I think those are aspects that the hon. Minister might also put right in considering this switchover.
Then we come to this question of rebuilding. I have already touched on it. I hope that the hon. Minister is going to concentrate on the resettling of people. I hope under this section the Minister is going to pay greater attention to people who are being moved out of their homes, whoever they may be. The question that should receive attention is whether they are able to re-establish themselves on anything like the same basis they are now living under. You see, Sir, if a man bought a house 20 years ago, he paid on the values of those days. When he sells now, he sells on the basis of a valuation which is laid down by the Department. I am not allowed to go into that now, but I will bring it up under the Minister’s Vote, because I think the method and the manner in which valuations are being done is completely wrong.
Not by the Department.
Your valuators. But what happens? He is getting a price for it to-day which is based in general terms on local valuations, more or less. Between that local valuation and present-day market values there is a margin, and that price he is offered, but the board takes half of that profit. So that a man who sells his property to-day for £2,000, making say £500 above the valuation, is actually getting back £1,750 and the board gets £250. I am taking the figure of £1,750, because in Isipingo to-day you find old houses. They cannot get a lot of money for them. Where is that man to-day going to re-establish himself on a home-ownership basis for £1,750? Now if he has got a good job, the Housing Commission will finance him on an economic basis if he is earning under R180 a month. I accept that. But what about the man like this person who is getting a pension of R50 a month? How is he to make up the difference between what he has got for his old-fashioned house and the house that he has got to build to re-establish himself and the price he has to pay for the land? He cannot do it. This hon. Minister knows that you cannot even buy the smallest house in a White area to-day for much less than £3,000. And where is a pensioner with an income of R50 a month going to find the difference between £1,750 or even £2,000 or £3,000? He cannot do it. So what is going to happen to him? He has to live the rest of his life under conditions he never planned to live under. He has got to go into board and lodging or take a room somewhere. I believe these things should be dealt with.
The last point I want to make is the question which the hon. Minister himself raised, namely that he had introduced the amendment to allow for different types of houses to be built and to provide largely for wooden houses. I personally have no objections to wooden houses. At one time I was considering building one for myself, because I believe that built to the specifications that I would want, a wooden house would be very good. But there have been questions raised with me as to whether if they are built on this economic standard, which the hon. Minister will have to do obviously in most of his schemes, whether those houses are going to be 100 per cent from the point of view of verminproofing, fire-proofing and the like. I know the C.S.I.R. and the Department of Forestry are going into these matters, and I want to ask the hon. Minister to satisfy himself on that particular aspect before he embarks upon wooden houses. As I say, I personally have no objection. I believe that from an insulation point of view a wooden house will probably be much warmer in winter and it will probably be much cooler in summer, and it has certain advantages, great advantages, for instance that it can be erected very quickly and that it can be easily maintained.
The only house I possess is a wooden house.
I do not want to go too far into these angles, but there is one aspect in regard to the type of house that I do want to go into. You know, Sir, in many of these schemes houses of concrete blocks have been erected, in others concrete houses have been erected because they are quick on the travelling mould idea, and in some cases brick houses have been built. But I think the hon. Minister should remember that more especially the poor groups, funnily enough, are not sharing equally in our present wave of prosperity and they have to buy houses on the basis that the hon. Minister in all seriousness is trying to provide for them, and I give him credit for that. But one of the things that worries me is that some of the houses I have seen in these schemes definitely will not last very long. I am sure that by the time the purchaser has paid for them in approximately 30 years’ time, they will have fallen down. Some of the concrete block houses that I have seen built in my opinion cannot stand for 30 years. The Minister may differ from me, but that is my opinion. So this person who is going to spend 30 years struggling on a small income to pay off a house of this type, which I think is shocking, and I refer particularly to the concrete block houses at the moment …
Not economic houses?
Well, they are in the Minister’s scheme. These people are purchasing these houses. They may be sub-economic. But I also want the Minister to go into the health aspect of those particular houses. That aspect will be dealt with more fully by a later speaker, but I have seen the conditions after a rainy period, especially in the Indian housing schemes in Durban, where the houses are shocking from a health point of view. A concrete block house tends to be damp and remain damp, because it holds the moisture and one of the biggest problems with a concrete block house is to waterproof it properly. If you go down the South Coast of Natal, you will see some very fine houses built of concrete blocks, but the walls have been tarred and blackened in an attempt to waterproof them. I personally believe that the brick house is the best house of all, but of course in certain cases of sub-economic schemes it is obvious that the Minister cannot go to those lengths. But I would ask him to pay particular attention to those particular aspects of housing.
The other aspects of the Minister’s introductory speech to this Bill will be dealt with quite fully by speakers on this side and I do not intend to take up any further time of the House. So I would say in conclusion that we are going to support this Bill although we are not satisfied with various aspects and perhaps with the Minister’s approach, and we will put amendments in the Committee Stage to try and put right what we think is wrong.
The most important points of criticism raised by the hon. member who has just sat down in regard to group areas were the very reasons for his supporting this Bill and I am sure that he will therefore forgive me if I devote my time to the Bill which is now before the House.
Up to the end of the First World War we had no State support for housing in South Africa. National housing only started in 1920 on the coming into operation of the Housing Act which was placed on the Statute Book in that year and that was when national housing made its debut in South Africa. Since that time appeals have been made to the State from time to time and facilities for housing have been increased more and more in order to supply the growing housing needs of the country. During the Second World War the provision of housing practically came to a standstill. This resulted in a backlog as far as housing was concerned which was to take years to make up. Since the end of the Second World War industrial development in South Africa has taken place on an unparalleled scale and this fact has obviously increased the demand for housing in our industrial centres and our cities. This happened at a stage when we already had a very great backlog as far as housing in our urban areas was concerned. Since that time enormous amounts, which have often been mentioned in this House, have been spent on housing in South Africa. Housing is certainly a matter of real importance to the people, and it is regarded and dealt with as such by the State.
In 1957 a consolidating Act was placed on the Statute Book, an Act which at the same time also made provision for better and more extensive facilities to supply the growing need for housing in our country. The fundamental principle of the Housing Act of 1920 as well as the Housing Act of 1945 was that the provision of housing for the lower and middle income groups was the joint responsibility of local authorities and of the State. This principle was also extended by the 1957 legislation and it remains the most important principle of this amending measure which we are discussing here to-day. This legislation is now being adapted to the changed circumstances of these growing needs in respect of housing in the Republic of South Africa. The State is indicating in no uncertain terms by means of this Bill that it fully realizes its responsibility in regard to the increasing housing requirements of the people. But this legislation goes a step further. Its purpose is also to make local authorities realize their joint responsibility, a responsibility which they bear together with the State in regard to housing needs. In the meantime, the realization of the importance of housing and of the growing housing requirements of the people increased to such an extent that a separate Department of Housing was brought into being in, I think, 1961. As our economic growth and economic development has continued unceasingly under this present Government, care has been taken to ensure that the housing requirements of the people are met. This measure which is before us to-day is the fruit of the work of the Department of Housing which was established in 1961 and the fruit of the zeal of the National Government to comply with the housing needs of the people of South Africa. Indeed, there is progress in the country under a go-ahead Government, and when there is progress and growth in a country, it is just as obvious that this must lead to some extent to a shortage of housing.
This Bill once again evidences the earnestness with which the Government is tackling the housing problem in the country. As the hon. the Minister quite correctly stated, the purpose of this Bill is also to hasten the building of houses. It has in mind the elimination of all stumbling-blocks and obstacles standing in the way of the swift supplying of housing, obstacles which can result in delay in the implementation of housing schemes. The necessity for this is apparent from a recent statement made by the hon. the Minister to the effect that the Department of Housing is engaged upon an intensive campaign to encourage local authorities to supply the housing requirements of the people in their areas. In the eight urban centres of the Republic, schemes have been drawn up which are either already under construction or are still in the planning stage or in regard to which negotiations have still to be entered into with local authorities. These schemes made provision for the construction of more than 8,000 houses for Whites and more than 55,000 for non-Whites. All these schemes will be financed by the National Housing Fund.
Because the Department of Housing is occupied with these imaginative plans and because it has made this planning so thorough, I am sure hon. members will realize that it is necessary for the hon. the Minister and his Department to be given such powers as will be of assistance to them in the implementation of their task. These powers are given to them in terms of this Bill.
It is true that the provisions of this Bill are such that there may be considerable interference in the sphere of local authorities. Nobody can or wants to deny this. But I say that there may be interference and I emphasize the word “may”. It does not have to take place. If local authorities realize the responsibilities which they bear together with the State as far as the provision of housing is concerned, and if they realize and do their duty in connection with the supplying of plots and necessary services, there need be no interference at all. In the event of its being contended that the aim of the hon. the Minister with this measure is to interfere deliberately with the affairs of local authorities, I want to deny it now. That is definitely not the purpose and the aim of the hon. the Minister. But if there are local authorities which neglect their duty, which are unwilling to do their duty or which delay unnecessarily the implementation of these building schemes, I am sure that hon. members will realize that the hon. the Minister will make use of the powers given to him by this Bill. No matter how unpleasant it may be for him and his Department to have to make use of those powers, he will simply have to make use of them. One can lead a horse to water but one cannot force it to drink. For that reason, and for that reason alone, will there be interference. They must be made to do their duty. I want to emphasize the fact therefore that there may be interference but that this does not necessarily have to happen. If local authorities are jealous of their rights—and I take it that they are—and want no State interference, then they must also act as the protectors of those rights and powers. To do so they must realize their duty in regard to housing and fulfil their obligations. I am sure that if they do this there will be no interference with their rights. The responsibility in this regard, therefore, rests squarely on their own shoulders.
The hon. member for Umlazi (Mr. Lewis) said that the Opposition do not like the provisions of Clause 4 although he did not elaborate in this regard. I find that Clause 4 has certain advantages in mind for the public and I really cannot understand why the hon. member has said that the Opposition are not particularly pleased about this clause. In terms of this clause the commission can now also amend the conditions in the case of existing schemes or make new conditions in connection with the utilization of large reserve funds which may have been built up in terms of these schemes. The purpose of the clause is obviously to assist local authorities to make use of these reserve funds in the interests and to the benefit of the people living under those schemes. Loans for various contracts in a city or town can now be consolidated and this may lead to a reduction in the rentals which tenants have to pay. This is actually to the advantage of those tenants. It may also eliminate the anomaly in that varying rentals are asked for the same type of house, as the hon. the Minister indicated yesterday, rentals which can be asked under various schemes in the same city or area, as is the case now. I think that the purpose is to eliminate these anomalies. But certain other services such as building a library or a clinic, to mention only one or two examples, can also be provided out of these funds in the interests of the people concerned. I cannot understand what the difficulty of the hon. member for Umlazi and the Opposition is in connection with this matter. I want to make it quite clear, if they have any difficulties in connection with the redemption period under the scheme or the rate of interest in regard to loans, that they must realize that those matters are not affected at all by these provisions; they remain constant.
I want to congratulate the hon. the Minister on this legislation. I think it is a good measure which will enable the hon. the Minister to implement housing schemes in our country as soon as possible, and it is necessary that this be done. We know that a shortage of housing exists in certain areas in regard to certain groups. I am convinced that this measure will give the hon. the Minister the power to have these schemes implemented as soon as possible in the event of there being any deliberately unfair or unnecessary delay on the part of certain local authorities.
The point of view expressed by a member of this side of the House that, whilst one should not derogate from the value of the effort which the Minister is making in introducing some changes in the Housing Act in terms of this Bill in order to accelerate the provision of housing, his approach has nevertheless caused a certain amount of misgiving, in the view of this side of the House; and I am afraid that that is accentuated by what we have just heard from the hon. member who has just sat down. If the objective is to make use of the amendment to this Act by providing a whip which the Minister can hold over the backs of local authorities in order to whip them up or to take certain action on his own because of the fact that they are not carrying out their duty, then I think it is quite clear that there is very much more in some of these amendments than meets the eye. In fact, I take a very disturbed view of what the hon. member has said, disturbed in the sense that far from paying a tribute which the hon. the Minister somewhat grudgingly did in his opening speech, the hon. member who has just sat down has indicted local authorities for not having played their full part in the housing development of this country.
That is true.
That interjection substantiates that I am justified in making the point I have made. There is no question that the Minister has found himself obliged—and we commend him for the effort—to take some steps to accelerate the provision of housing, but I do not think, as one listened to the review given of the history of the provision of housing by the State since 1920, that the position is any worse to-day than it was in 1945, when certain other amendments were passed, also with the object of accelerating housing. I do not think the position to-day is any more serious than it was then, because at that time we had a considerable number of young men who returned from the war, a large number of whom had married during that time and whose families had been looked after by their families during the absence of the breadwinner, and a considerable number of houses had to be found for those young men and women who required accommodation in the immediate post-war period. That was one of the objectives of the 1945 amending Act. In addition, we were faced with a considerable demand for housing in the industrial field to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of workers who had flocked into the various cities and towns in the country as the result of the tremendous industrial revolution that took place after the war. We were faced with considerable difficulties then because there were shortages of materials and manpower on an unparalleled scale. My criticism of the Minister is that, knowing what his Cabinet was planning in regard to immigration, knowing what it was planning in regard to Government works in order to put some vitality into the economic setbacks which this country had had for some years, knowing of the necessity for the internal reinvestment of moneys which had accumulated for some years and was lying idle in the banks and the other financial institutions, knowing of the tremendous schemes with regard to the provision of water which the Government intended to institute, knowing all this, and knowing of the shortage of both manpower and materials, the Minister has woken up a little bit late; although nevertheless one must at least commend the fact that he has woken up to the necessity for providing housing.
You are talking nonsense.
I say that a lot of what the Minister is now accusing the local authorities of failing to do is something which he might have planned himself. About a year ago there was no question of a shortage of housing in this country. In fact, I remember that a year ago flats were being provided in Johannesburg on lease for a year or two, with the first two or three months free of rental to the tenants, because it was difficult to fill the numerous flats that had become available because of certain setbacks the country had suffered. But the country did not at that time know what steps the Government had taken in order to bring about this tremendous revival economically, and also to provide additional immigrants.
So now you admit it at last.
Business suspended at 12.45 p.m. and resumed at 2.20 p.m.
Afternoon Sitting
As I was saying, this side of the House welcomes the steps taken to accelerate the provision of housing, but strongly deprecates the provisions in the Bill which emasculate still further the freedom and the work of the local authorities and the part they have played. I should like to draw the attention of the Minister, who seems to be unhappy about my point of view, firstly to the remarks of the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East), who went out of his way to talk of the necessity to encourage the local authorities to provide housing, but said at the same time that the Bill provided certain powers for interference by the Minister in case they did not carry out their duties satisfactorily. There is a quotation from a decision of the Supreme Court in the Free State in 1941 in the case of Rex v. Bethlehem Municipality, which reads as follows—
This particular quotation was made use of by no less a person than the very colleague to whom the Minister is now chatting, the Minister of Finance, in the very early stages of his authoritative book on municipal law. Well, we believe that local government has an important part to play, and we deprecate the provisions of this Bill which emasculate it of a great deal of its powers. The Minister also was not very happy about my reference to the question as to what the attitude of local authorities was with regard to housing and the part they played, and also in regard to the housing position just over a year ago.
Where do you get that from, that I was not happy?
Well, you looked very miserable. In February 1964, when we discussed the Rents Bill, the Minister made certain allegations in regard to local authorities, and said that he had sent circulars to councils in August 1962, and again in February 1963, urging them to give special attention to housing. The Johannesburg City Council, which was implicated by an interjection in that debate, and which obviously will be the subject of attack a little later, replied through its leader as follows. I quote from a Johannesburg newspaper—
Mr. Widman to-day produced a letter sent to the council by the Secretary for Housing six days after the second circular (of 20 Febuary 1963) saying: “In order to obviate inquiries, you are hereby notified that this circular does not apply to you.”
Then he proceeded to give a review of housing—
What I would like to make clear is that there was at that time no actual shortage of housing. The local authorities had done their share. I think the local authorities of South Africa have made a most remarkable contribution in this field, and in fact the 1957 Consolidating Act, which consolidated and amended the Housing Acts which existed at that time, did nothing more than merely bring them together, with some slight amendments, and it received the approval of all sides of the House, because it was part of the State’s policy for a period of nearly 40 years, and during all that time, with shortages even more severe than now, the local authorities have fully played their part. What is disturbing is that the Minister, instead of inviting the continued co-operation of local authorities, is virtually saying to them. “Either, or”, and I think that is not a sound approach by a State Department. The Minister is obviously a little unhappy about certain of the machinery of the Group Areas Act.
Now tell me where you get that from.
Well, it is quite clear. The Minister himself referred in his speech to the fact that some councils did not approve of the rehousing of people and he referred to some of the difficulties under the Group Areas Act. We know that he has taken many functions of the Group Areas Development Board under the wing of his Housing Department, but if he is going to use this Bill to give him further powers over municipalities, it is certainly not a satisfactory feature of the Bill. It seems to me part of an ever-increasing process to bring the whole of the life of a community under the complete bureaucratic control of a Department, and to diminish and destroy the content and purpose of local authorities, which after all represent a taxpaying electorate and a parochial community concerned particularly with its own interests.
Just to deal with some of the clauses of the Bill, in Clause 4, which the Minister says has as its purpose the possibility of being able to divert reserve funds which have accumulated over long periods to reduce rentals and to provide additional facilities, we think that, after having entered into an agreement providing the specific terms and conditions under which a loan is granted for a scheme, and the scheme having been carried out and the terms of the agreement having been complied with, it is wrong that the State should be able unilaterally to change any of the terms and conditions of the agreement. First of all, it is an unheard of thing in our law that there should be unilateral action in doing these things. Sir, if you enter into a bilateral agreement, both sides should consent, and if the hon. the Minister finds that there are reserve funds which have accumulated over a period under certain provisions of that agreement, I cannot conceive that any local authority would not be prepared to co-operate with the State Department in bringing about a change in those provisions if it is to the advantage of its citizens and in the interests of the scheme. To ride roughshod over a local authority if it does not comply with the Minister’s request is, I think, high-handed. There are other ways of doing it. For instance, one might conceive of the hon. the Minister wishing to change certain things with the consent of the Administrator, who himself is very often a party to the housing schemes and who has to give his approval to whatever the council wishes to undertake in this field. But he does not even provide for that; he only provides that after consultation with the Administrator he has the right, without the consent of the local authority, to do these things. The same criticism applies to Clause 6. Formerly, if the commission carried out a scheme and wanted to hand it over to a local authority, it could only do so, should the local authority refuse, after the consent of the Administrator had been obtained. The hon. the Minister now changes that. He will now be able to do it after consultation only with the Administrator. He is removing all obstacles which may prevent him from dealing with local authorities as he wishes to do. We think that this is a very unsavoury feature of this legislation. The same criticism will apply to Clause 13. At the present moment local authorities enter into a bilateral agreement to carry out certain services for each other, but in terms of this Bill the Minister, if he feels that certain conditions prevail which do not permit of the provision of services, will be able to direct the Secretary to instruct a local authority to carry out those services. Sir, in the course of his speech the hon. the Minister talks about “normal tariffs” and, strangely enough, in his amended clause he talks about “reasonable tariffs”. In other words, the tariffs will fall largely within the Minister’s own discretion. This amendment is in line with the suggestion made in the course of his speech by the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) (Mr. van Rensburg) that it is necessary for the Minister to hold a whip-hand over local authorities so that nothing can stand in his way.
I would like now to spend a few minutes dealing with the question of wooden housing, which is not entirely a new idea in South Africa. It is an idea which was very fully canvassed in South Africa after World War II, but nevertheless I want to commend the Minister for having the courage to proceed with this idea. In the immediate post-war years wood could not be treated properly against an infestation of insects, but it is possible to do so nowadays. I remember that after 1945, when there was a tremendous demand for housing for ex-servicemen, a wooden housing scheme was contemplated but unfortunately the local authorities at that time could not take the risk of allowing wooden houses to be erected because of the risk of fire and the risk of termites. To-day, however, we have the experience of other countries to guide us in this connection; we can benefit from the experience of Australia, which has had 1,500,000 immigrants over the last 15 or 16 years, and we can benefit from the experience of Canada which has had nearly 2,500,000 immigrants over the last 15 or 16 years. The Minister will find, however, that houses will not be constructed entirely of wood. In the countries to which I have referred there is quite an interest in the building of what is known as brick-and-wood houses. Portions of the house are constructed of brick but there are also large portions, particularly the inner walls, which are constructed of wood. These brick-and-wood houses present a very pretty sight and they have contributed a great deal to the aesthetic beauty of housing in those countries. I sincerely hope that the same thing will apply in South Africa as well.
At this stage I would like to indicate to the hon. the Minister that we intend to move amendments to this Bill, not with the object of hindering him in his object to accelerate the provision of housing but with the object of leaving the local authorities the dignity which they have enjoyed over the many years and with the same opportunity to render services to the community, without constantly feeling that they are under the whip-lash of the Government. Sir, the hon. the Minister said in February when the Rents Bill was before the House that his experience was that it was not Nationalist-controlled councils that did not co-operate with him but councils which were dominated by other political groups. That remark leaves one with the unpleasant feeling that much of this type of legislation is intended to curb still further any opposition that the Government might encounter, even to its thinking, in local authorities. One feels that this is an endeavour to make local authorities virtually the slave of the statutory demands of the Government.
I am very grateful for the fact that we can pride ourselves on having a Minister of Housing who has the capability to deal with this important matter of housing. We are also very grateful for the fact that he undertook a very extensive tour abroad to study housing problems there with a view to applying the results of his study in this country. We are also very grateful for the fact that the two partners in this matter, the Housing Commission and the local authorities, have been doing such excellent work in coping with the housing problem in this country. If it had not been for the fact that the Housing Commission co-operated with the local authorities we would certainly never have been able to solve the housing problem. It is a great pity, however, that there are certain local authorities which are adopting a very stubborn attitude and creating problems for the Government. I am sorry, Sir, that I have to refer here to the hon. member for Florida (Mr. Miller) because I do not want to attack that hon. member or the Johannesburg City Council, but I think the hon. member for Florida did the wrong thing here in trying to misrepresent the words of the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) (Mr. van Rensburg). He alleges that the speech of the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) created the impression that this legislation was going to be used as a stick with which to beat the local authorities. The hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) stated very clearly that if the local authorities were stubborn and refused to co-operate with the commission in tackling the housing problem, the Minister would be able to make use of the powers granted to him in this Bill. Sir, I think the hon. member will concede that if there is one person who can speak with authority on the application of this Act on the strength of experience in connection with this matter, it is I.
I want to come back to Clauses 4 and 13, the two clauses to which the Opposition have the strongest objection. The hon. member who has just sat down asked why the hon. the Minister wanted to incorporate Clause 4 in this Bill. Sir, the hon. member served for years on the Johannesburg City Council, and I want to put this question to him: Is the position not that the city councils are frequently unable to make up their mind? They postpone the matter from meeting to meeting; they quarrel and they arrive at no decision, and in the meantime this problem grows from day to dav. The public does not look to the city council to solve the housing problem; it looks to the Minister. That is why I think it is absolutely essential for the hon. the Minister to have the powers contained in Clause 4 so that he will have a weapon which he will be able to use if he thinks it is in the interests of the community and of the country and so that he will be able to say to the local authority, “If you refuse to co-operate I am going to take over this work myself”. We must not regard the housing shortage as a local problem but as a national problem, as a problem which affects the whole nation, and I think those two hon. members are too parochial in their outlook as far as this problem is concerned.
But I want to come to Clause 13. Sir, the greatest curse in our country to-day is this question of municipal boundaries in our large industrial complexes. In Clause 13 the power is now being given to the hon. the Minister, when a housing project is being tackled within the boundaries of one local authority, to intervene if the water and the power for such a housing project can be supplied more cheaply by a neighbouring local authority. The hon. member for Florida knows that there are such cases. He knows that there are many cases on the Witwatersrand where municipal areas are separated just by a street or streets. The water and power supplies of the one local authority may be very far away from the housing project which is being undertaken in that particular municipal area. It is in cases of that kind that the hon. the Minister will be able to make use of this power. The hon. member knows that one local authority cannot exercise its powers within the area of jurisdiction of another local authority. That power is now being given to the Minister specifically in this clause, and as we know the hon. the Minister we know that he is not going to use that power in an autocratic way. He will use this power in consultation with the city councils. Sir, it is not only under the régime of the National Party Government that difficulties have been experienced with city councils which refuse to carry out the Government’s policy. I think we must all admit to-day that never before has there been such fine co-operation between all city councils in the Republic of South Africa, whichever party may be in the majority in the council, and the Government of the day. But problems do arise from time to time and it is necessary to have legislation to be able to deal with those problems as and when they arise. So much with regard to Clauses 4 and 13. I would even go so far as to say that the hon. the Minister should substitute the words “the cheapest tariff” for the words “reasonable tariff”. We want the cheapest tariff to be applied because we are dealing here with the nation’s housing and not with purely local government matters. Sir, there is not such a tremendous shortage of housing at the present time as hon. members on that side try to suggest. If we want to talk about a shortage of housing, then we must go back to the war years; there was a great shortage of housing at that time, but we are not going to blame the Opposition for it. The hon. member says that there was no shortage of housing a year ago, but what has the private sector been doing? The private sector has been building luxury flats only, and the worker has simply not been able to afford to have a house built for himself. What the National Housing Commission is doing now is to make the necessary provision so that the workers can acquire their own homes. We can pride ourselves on the houses which have been erected in recent times for our people by these two partners, the local authority and the Government, with the National Housing Commission acting as the Government’s agent. I want to congratulate the hon. the Minister on the fact that he held discussions with the Administrators of the four provinces to expedite the laying out of new townships. Hon. members who have served on local authorities know how we struggled to have townships proclaimed. They know what problems there were in connection with this matter. To-day the hon. the Minister comes along and tells us that he obtained the co-operation of all four Administrators and that the proclamation of townships will be expedited in the future. Sir, is that not a great forward step? Is that not something of which we can be proud? It only shows once again what can be achieved through co-operation. But I should also like very much to sound a warning note here to the hon. the Minister. In embarking upon this planning I just want to warn against poor planning. We are told that this planning will be completed within three months. We know that this planning is urgent and essential but I do want to ask the hon. the Minister to see to it, when townships are laid out, that they comply with all the modern requirements of town planning. We must not make the mistake which was made after the war years when there was also a housing shortage in this country and when certain townships were laid out without proper planning. Those townships have degenerated to-day into White locations where we are faced with great problems and difficulties. I want to urge upon the hon. the Minister therefore to see to it that new townships which are laid out comply with the modern requirements of town planning. We must see to it that they also comply with the requirements of the various Government Departments and with the requirements of trade and industry.
Finally I want to make just one further appeal to the hon. the Minister. I do feel that the time has come when a commission of inquiry should be appointed to investigate the various aspects of the provision of housing. Take the question, for example, of the maximum income which has been laid down at R180 per month. I feel that that figure is too low and that it should be increased considerably. Then I want to ask the hon. the Minister whether the amount of money which is made available for the building of houses is not too low. After all, we do not want to build houses which in a few years’ time will no longer adorn the neighbourhood but which will change new townships into White locations.
This Bill, I think, provides an opportunity to discourse upon the question of housing and to put forward propositions and suggestions which will fall in line with the propositions put forward by the hon. the Minister in the Bill and bring about a more rapid development in the construction of housing. Sir. it has been my good fortune to visit many countries in the world to go into this very subject and I hope to-day that the hon. the Minister will take some cognizance of the points I raise because after spending over 20 years dealing with the provision of housing I do know what the snags are and I think I can assist the Minister in getting some of these difficulties out of the way.
I propose to deal first of all with the question of substitute materials. Much has been said here in favour of wood. I would like to put it to the Minister that in exempting local authorities from their own by-laws, rules and regulations in connection with standards, he is only tackling half the problem because there are many people in private enterprise who are quite willing to build and who have some very good ideas as to what can be done with substitute materials and with modern methods. Last year when the hon. the Minister was in the city of which I was then the mayor I hoped to be able to show him what had been done, not what we hoped to do or what we proposed should be done. A tremendous programme spread over 20 years had been embarked upon and the result is that a new city has arisen in the place of one which had fallen on difficult days. I want to take one or two examples because I find that an example is the best way of illustrating a point. I can show the hon. the Minister properties built in the divisional council area of Kimberley where the brickwork is single-row brick reinforced with steel and flat sheets and steel mesh. These have been built with the express purpose of bringing the price down. The hon. the Minister and the Department of National Housing are trying very earnestly to bring the cost of construction down, and we have got to the stage now where we are in what we might call the sub-economic group where substitute materials in the shape of cement blocks, ash-concrete blocks and suchlike have been used profusely. But these houses are really not suitable because they have no ceilings, no inside doors, no washing facilities, and the tap is a long way down the road. In constructing houses for Bantu that particular aspect was noticed a long while ago, and the Minister himself said in a very short statement in the House last year that the Department had reached the stage where they could now build economically and that sub-economic housing would only be undertaken in special cases—or words to that effect. I want to put it to the Minister that the real method of tackling this problem is not to get the cost of construction down but to use the methods and the materials which are used by private builders. I think it is a mistake to confine the building of houses exclusively to the local authorities and to the commission, except perhaps in the case of the very low income groups. My reason for saying that is this. The hon. member for Brakpan (Mr. Bezuidenhout) spoke a moment ago about White locations. The great difficulty is the tremendous number of houses of exactly the same type and standard, row upon row. When we bring down the costs and push down the standards we create a very fruitful field for the identical conditions we are hoping to eliminate. Sir, let us trace what happened because of delays, and here I want to defend the municipalities. In my experience municipalities are as conscious of the need for housing as the Government and they are prepared to do their stuff. Sir, a municipality wishes to build a township on a given piece of land. This business of a housing shortage is not new; it dates back to 1920, as the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) pointed out: It is nobody’s fault: We are a growing country and houses are necessary. What happened in the old days? A local authority lays out a plan, and it used to take a very long time to get the surveyor-general to approve of the diagram. That has now been eliminated. Now the plan is presented to the provincial administration. I think I can say on the very soundest grounds that the delays in this province—I do not know anything about the other provinces—have been shortened to a considerable extent, largely due to the fact that ten years ago the Townships Board was streamlined and was made part and parcel of the local government section in the province. If it has deteriorated since then the hon. the Minister will know exactly where to look for the reason. But the provincial administration finds itself in the position, as does the local authority, that these plans have to be submitted to a number of Government Departments, which take ages to indicate their requirements. I think that is the reason why the Minister is asking for this power. I notice that in introducing the Bill he said that he was amending the law to provide that he and the Administrator will consult. We will discuss the details at the Committee Stage. Sir, the State Departments camp out on these plans, and I think the Minister might do well to look into that aspect before acting on the assumption that the plan is in order. We have had many examples where planning has been overridden by authorities and where we get a botched-up job. Well, the plan is approved now and the local authority decides to proceed with the building of the houses. Here the hon. the Minister can short-circuit the procedure considerably if he would arrange for standards to be set by his Department within which the local authority could work, because under the present circumstances, although there are local officers who deal with housing schemes and housing plans and do act as vets in the preparation of plans, they really have no authority. All these plans are submitted to Pretoria. Subsequently tenders are called for and the municipality recommends what should be accepted. It then goes back to the commission. Although the commission protests that they realize that the costs are different in the various centres in the Republic, they ignore that fact, when it comes to the consideration of tenders. Because of difficulties on the site and other difficulties, prices vary. The proposition is then put forward that some modification should be made. My suggestion, for the consideration of the Minister, is, that when the plans are drawn, within specifications which are laid down by his own Department, within limits which can be followed by the local authority, tenders should be called for and the complete scheme should then be submitted to the commission for approval, because the lowest tender in the case of public tenders is the best price. I wish to digress here for one moment to explain an interjection made by the Minister the other day. Two years ago a scheme was suggested at the request of the Housing Commission. The commission decided that they would acquire the land, which was sold to them and there was no argument. They subsequently came back and asked for the price to be reduced, which was done. Two different men did the negotiating. The reduction was granted by a man whom the Minister chose to attack. Tenders were called for; it was a matter of urgency; it was a housing scheme for aged people. The municipality had agreed to waive its regulations to keep the price down. The cost that was set upon the houses was R2,000 per house. When tenders were called for the tender price was R2,200. There were three tenders. The one man withdrew because of an error and the other man packed up for some other reason, which may have been that he did not have the finance, and the last man was asked to stand by but the plan was never proceeded with. This was done as a matter of urgency; everybody pitched in to help. Everybody thought we would have this housing scheme under construction in double quick time. The thing is dying. I want to be fair and reasonable. There may be other reasons. The other, day the hon. the Minister told me that in the particular city I know so well only his Department had “built for White”. I want to defend that city. For over 20 years that city has had the happiest of relations with the Government Department responsible for Housing. There have never been any arguments or disputes. That particular city has spent on housing no less a sum than R13,000,000 over the last few years. Some of this was provided by the National Housing Commission and some by private enterprise.
The group earning R180 and under, mentioned by the hon. member for Brakpan (Mr. Bezuidenhout) was the subject of an investigation by the Church. That Church reported that it was necessary to make provision for these people. Within a matter of months two blocks of flats were under construction and we hope they will be ready for occupation before very long. It is no good starting tilting at each other about whose fault it is without a full knowledge of the facts. I have the minutes of the particular council meeting where the Housing Commission admitted that the city council had done a good job.
You attacked the commission.
Oh, no I did not. The Minister spoke out of his turn, but I shall not go into that now.
Raise it under my Vote and I shall reply to you.
That will be the appropriate time. What I am trying to establish is this: There are local authorities who have had every possible type of experience in the construction of houses, in the building of townships and in planning. They can give good, sound and solid advice. There is nothing much wrong with the Bill. It needs a little amending here and there. The amendments will be introduced and we shall have some very interesting discussions. But the point at issue is this. We in this country will persist in talking about sub-economic housing when what we really have are sub-economic tenants. The sub-economic tenant is the problem not the sub-economic house. Where we have sub-economic housing the local authorities must of necessity be careful because the losses of those schemes have to be met by their general funds and by their rates. That means that the urban area, as such, is providing all this housing, at a considerable cost to itself and carrying all the losses.
I want to put this to the Minister: When the Minister of Bantu Administration and Development, at that time decided to do away with sub-economic housing in the case of the Bantu, a tremendous step forward was taken. The result has been that schemes have been constructed: Thousands and thousands of houses have been built and they are economic. The hon. the Minister says he is taking power to level the rents. That is also a point that needs very careful examination, because the problem is that it is extremely difficult to average rents on account of the fact that some townships were built when costs were different. Some local authorities have already tried to average their rents, but they found themselves in the position that there were housing schemes built in bygone days, schemes where the rents were low, and newer schemes where the rents were of necessity higher, although not very much. I shall therefore be pleased to learn from the hon. the Minister how he is going to do the averaging and whether the averaging will always be on the downward basis at the expense of the local authority? I can assure you, Sir, that housing, from a local authority point of view, especially sub-economic housing, is a very costly business. Local authorities are saddled with all sorts of expenses and when sub-economic housing falls upon their shoulders many of them find it impossible to carry the burden.
In the Karoo towns the housing made available to Coloured people is mostly of the two-roomed type, with a galvanized iron roof, and is an oven in the summer and a refrigerator in the winter. There are no inside doors, no ceilings and no floors. It sometimes happens that the man has a bigger family than anticipated. In a circular from his Department the hon. the Minister says that if a survey is taken of people with big families additional money can be provided. It happens, Sir, that a township is built to accommodate a particular group of people, particularly in view of the Group Areas Act under which people are forced out of the White areas. [Interjections.] I do not want to get mixed up in the political aspect. This is actually what is happening. When a local authority applies for additional funds I think the Minister will find that money is available at economic rates.
One final observation. I want to make a special appeal to the hon. the Minister to discuss the following point with the Administrators: When the Bureau of Standards sets a standard of materials, it should be applicable to all sections of the community and not only to local authorities and National Housing townships.
Mr. Speaker, it is true that there is a serious housing shortage in some parts of the country. We realize how essential it is to provide the people with proper housing and that is why everything possible should be set in motion to provide that housing. All stumbling blocks should be removed. I therefore regard this legislation as one of the most important pieces of legislation we have ever placed on the Statute Book. We know that unnecessary delays in the erection of housing schemes often take place; sometimes the necessary co-operation on the part of a local authority is lacking. We must do everything in our power in every respect to do away with all the red tape and the stumbling blocks which are in the way of providing the necessary housing. Housing is definitely a matter of national importance. There is no question about the autonomy of municipalities being affected here. The Bill is very clear on that point; it is only where there is unnecessary delay in connection with the laying out of a township and the planning and such like that notice will be served at a certain stage.
This Bill contains two important provisions. The one will do away with unnecessary delays and the other provides that as far as existing schemes are concerned more favourable arrangements can be made with tenants. That is Clause 4. There is another matter I wish to raise. The first has been explained very fully by the hon. member for Bloemfontein (East) and I shall accordingly not cover the same ground. The matter I wish to touch upon is the following: Our urban areas often have small-holding areas adjoining them. These peri-urban areas often have the necessary water and they can often become fine residential areas in all respects, residential areas that will serve the urban area well, in that the labour forces serving that urban area can be accommodated there. We know that special and favourable conditions apply to such peri-urban small-holding communities for which we are very grateful to the Minister. However, I wish to ask the hon. the Minister whether it will not be possible to increase the amount of the loan in connection with areas which are very closely situated to municipal areas, areas where they have the necessary water facilities and the like, so that those loans are similar to the Housing Commission loans. I am only asking for this to be done in respect of those areas which are closely situated to a municipal area and areas which may perhaps ultimately be brought under the control of that municipal area. I think the best type of house should be built there and that is why I am asking the Minister whether it is not possible to include them in the urban areas for loan purposes. The question has now been approached from all angles and I regard it as a privilege to be able to say that I believe this will be an improved Act on our Statute Book. We gladly give it our support.
Sir, I support the hon. member for Bloemfontein (District) (Mr. J. A. Schlebusch) in his plea that attention should be given to the peri-urban areas, especially those near the larger cities. It has been found, in the case of Johannesburg, that the very lack of such facilities as water and power, is the obstacle which prevents the local authority from incorporating such a peri-urban area. It is just not economic. Unless the State is prepared to assist by way of globular grants-in-aid to enable a local authority to incorporate the kind of peri-urban area that the hon. member for Bloemfontein (District) is thinking about in relation to Bloemfontein, and the kind that I am thinking about in relation to Johannesburg, that local authority will not be prepared to do it. I have seen that over and over again. The fact is, that as a rule, these areas are now in a position where water has to be provided by a borehole, etc., but if they are incorporated in a municipality they expect the same facilities as those provided to all the other ratepayers in the municipal area. That means that the local authority is compelled to extend to them all the facilities, such as power, water and transport, and as far as Johannesburg is concerned it is such an uneconomic proposition that, with the best will in the world, they cannot do it unless the State is prepared to make a capital grant-in-aid and say: “Now you take in this particular peri-urban area and we shall provide the capital costs so that you will not be unduly burdened” which means the ratepayers will not be unduly burdened.
I would like to reply to two points raised by the hon. member for Brakpan (Mr. Bezuidenhout). I am sorry he is not in the House at the moment. He asked for a commission of inquiry into the question of housing with special reference to the provision of housing for the income group below R180 per month. I support that too, Sir; I think we all support that. But I must say, having regard to the fact that we on this side of the House have—during this week—asked for two commissions of inquiry and have had both turned down, I do not fancy the hon. member’s chances—unless it is going to be a case of “third time lucky!” I do not think the hon. the Minister will give him the inquiry he asks for any more than the other Ministers gave us the inquiries we asked for.
We have commissions of inquiry from time to time.
The hon. member for Brakpan asked for a special commission of inquiry. If the Minister does not like that, I think he must direct his distaste of the idea to the hon. member for Brakpan.
The other point the hon. member raised was in connection with the boundaries of municipalities. He said, in effect, “the curse of the country were the boundaries of municipalities.” He went on to point out that in many cases one municipality ended on one side of the street and the contiguous municipality began on the other side. That is perfectly true, particularly in the Witwatersrand-Pretoria complex. I wonder whether that argument of his in support of Clause 13, which I for one reject, should not have been considered in regard to the repeated requests of the local authorities in that same Witwatersrand / Pretoria complex that that complex should be considered as one area for other purposes, such as influx control and the free movement of Bantu from the one municipality to the other. This has been a long-standing problem. The Government is not prepared to listen to any plea on that score; so I would be very interested to know he can justify this complete disregard for the boundaries of the local authorities and the municipalities in the case of the intrusion that the Minister’s Department will make into the affairs of those local authorities when the Government refuses, for different reasons entirely, to allow that same kind of uniformity to operate over these areas.
Do not mix the two issues.
You cannot separate the one from the other. I do not think I am at all mixed up about this. I want to put it to the hon. the Minister that however much this Bill will assist in the provision of housing, it is not going to help to the extent that it could have helped, had the policy of his Department and of the Commission taken a different direction. I have urged on the Minister before today, more particularly before he went on his European trip, that he should seriously consider the provision of the multistorey type of dwelling rather than the single unit type, on the ground. As far I can make out, Sir, the attitude is that we in South Africa—more particularly the Afrikaner—like to have that little piece of earth: he likes to live on the ground, so we must build houses under the policy of one to a certain area of land. But the hon. the Minister himself pointed out in March last year, in para. 4 of a circular headed “Facilities for the Provision of Housing out of State Funds for Families in the Lower Income Group” that—
This is known to the Minister and his Department. Surely the hon. the Minister knows that, unlike others this shortage cannot be alleviated by increased productivity or stepping up the production of a commodity—the ground, the earth, is there; you cannot expand or stretch it. I would say that since World War I we have moved out of the agran economy in which South Africa then was. We are very definitely in the industrial era of our expansion, and in the industrial era of our economy. So, whether we like it or not, we are going to continue to develop concentrated local populations where the industries are, and where the work happens to exist. Surely the hon. Minister knows that. Yet he seems to be hanging on to this idea that if you have an acre of land near a city like Cape Town, for example, and you think that is convenient and suitable because it happens to be reasonably near the industrial area of the city, and because transport is available, you must then proceed to provide, say, 20 houses on that acre of land. This is eventually going to catch up with the Department of Housing whether the Minister is prepared to recognize it or not.
I am very surprised that in view of the fact the Minister visited, according to the Press reports, Britain and Europe, including Greece, Italy, West Germany and the Netherlands, he did not see for himself that these things I have urged upon him last year and the year before, are certainly worth some serious consideration. I do not know whether he went to the City of Bremen, for example, in Germany. I do not know whether he saw a housing scheme there of which I have the description here. I also happen to have seen it, not only at the time when it was built. The authorities refer to it as—
And I can vouch for its modernity and for its accessibility to the city of Bremen—
Then they go on to explain that it cost approximately R60,000,000 in our currency, and that 40,000 fiats were provided through the German counterpart of our National Housing Commission; that it is situate on approximately 22,000,000 square feet of meadow land, which is about 550 acres of ground.
Here is a case where, because of the fact that the ground is used to the greatest advantage by the concentration of dwellings, it is possible to provide the type of amenities which our Housing Commission, up to now, has hardly been able to consider providing. We do not build the kind of housing projects they build in Europe or America, Sir; we just build houses, as a rule. We do not build those housing projects because not enough ground is available—let alone the capital. In this satellite city they have provided not only for two water courses and a 1,200 feet long artificial lake, but they have landscaped the area into several spacious parks and they have provided a modern shopping centre; there is a building where doctors have their consulting rooms. They have done all these things, Sir, and I maintain they have done it at a lower cost per dwelling unit than the National Housing Commission is going to build houses at Bosmansdam. Where is the difficulty?
What do you know about Bosmansdam?
I shall tell the hon. Minister. As the Minister knows, he was the one to make a statement—it was ascribed to him, anyway—on 9 March 1963 that—
Units.
Mr. Speaker, I said I was reading from a Press report. This is apparently the authoritative statement by the Minister, because it says—
Four thousand units.
Just a moment. I did not discuss this with the Minister. He did not come to this House and tell us that. This is a statement which is ascribed to him. The Minister must not complain. This sort of thing happens only too often; something is said in the form of a statement somewhere at a banquet, or at a Ruiterswag function or something—but he does not tell me and the rest of the House of Assembly what he is going to do! I say again this report which appeared in the Cape Times of 9 March 1963 on the authority of the Minister, says—
I happen to read this paper—for better or for worse—every day and there was no correction of the word “plots” …
Why do you not do worse.
Well, I could read the Burger—that would be even worse. It says—
I maintain that whether it was a case of plots, lots, houses of dwelling units, the Minister is going to use this accessible area of land, accessible to the industrial areas of the Cape Peninsula, to put up houses. It says nothing about any multi-storey housing. I again say that in the long run, perhaps in the next ten or 15 years, it will be found that this land has not been put to the best advantage. If the hon. the Minister is going to put up any multistorey accommodation there, then surely he is entitled to say so. I have not prevented or discouraged him from saying so. Why I raise this—I did it last year and the year before—is in order to get a reaction from the hon. the Minister. But he goes to Europe, according to this report, sees the very things that I, for one—and I am not the only one—have urged upon him in 1961, 1962, 1963 and again in 1964, and he is not prepared to comment on it! So I have to tell him that the kind of housing development we are indulging in today is completely passé; he knows it. He can come with all the “prefabs” in the world, but he is misusing a limited area of land near an industrial area because of his insistence on houses, separate from one another, each one on its individual plot. If the Minister did not see for himself that this was the position in Europe, then I can only say that I am blessed if I know what he did look at in Europe!
Germany, having a growing economy, as we claim to have here, had to develop very rapidly after the war, and of all the European countries Germany had the best opportunity to ascertain what was the best use to which land could be put in regard to the provision of housing. You have the city of Kiel which, as the northern part of West Germany. They followed the example of Bremen. On a base the Minister will know if he visited it, is in area of approximately five square kilometres a new suburb for 40,000 inhabitants is being built there to-day. In fact, I think it is completed. Many suggestions for the project were taken from this very satellite city of Neue Vahr near Bremen. Furthermore—and the Minister may confirm this if he went to Sweden—we find the same thing in the Swedish “experimental city” of Farsta outside Stockholm where, for example, they provide for eight residential districts of 1,000 to 2,000 dwelling units each. All these districts will be given shopping centres, day-nursery homes, parks and so forth. I want the Minister to stand up in this debate, or when he replies, and say that these are the facilities that are being provided, in addition to the houses that are being planned now, whether at Bosmansdam or anywhere else. At Farsta they provide, in addition to what I have already mentioned, playgrounds for children, sport facilities and park areas, departmental stores. Every kind of facility is provided that town planners do provide if they try to create something which will be functional as well as pleasant to live in, rather than the kind of housing that, I am afraid to say, we provide in South Africa. The fact of the matter is that we provide housing in this country as an emergency. We do it out of sheer desperation, either because we have to clear a slum, and accommodation has to be provided in place of the accommodation demolished, or because we have a wave of immigration and something has to be provided for the immigrants—that is a measure of desperation. There are different ways of approaching this question of housing. A house is eventually a home for somebody. With a certain given amount of money and a certain limited area of ground, it is possible—and this has been demonstrated in a dozen of European countries and elsewhere—to provide more than a collection of 200 or 300 houses. Surely that is the objective the Department should be aiming at.
I can give the Minister evidence of this, and evidence from my own observations— evidence I can support with facts; so could he, firstly, if he had seen some of these projects, as he must have done, and secondly, if he had an open mind about it. I say that whatever this Bill may do it will not shift the emphasis which the Minister seeks to place on the singleunit type of accommodation which I say is uneconomical and completely out of keeping with the needs of a growing country which has concentrations of population like South Africa has.
You want a second Hillbrow.
I am prepared to deal with that, Sir. There are many things lacking there, but the fact is that the people who live in Hillbrow can get into the central part of Johannesburg where they work within five minutes. They would refuse to go and live 16 miles outside at Bosmansdam. That is why you cannot easily get a flat in Hillbrow, to this day.
I want to deal very briefly with the Bill. Clause 1 says “section one of the Housing Act, 1959 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act) … This caused me some considerable trouble. I had not read the rubric, so I spent a long time looking for the Housing Act of 1959. Of course, the Minister would have told me I was naïve, because the Housing Act was passed in 1957! But nevertheless it says in the first line “the Housing Act. 1959”.
As far as Clause 2 is concerned, I want to say that it is a good thing that now a town planner may be placed on the National Housing Commission—but it is not a good thing that where there was provision for one woman, at least, the Minister may in future appoint or not appoint a woman. I think the women of South Africa will not take kindly to this view as I hope to indicate in the Committee Stage. I say furthermore that it is a good thing that the Bantu Housing Board, too, will apparently in the future have the services of a town planner at its disposal, as a member of the board.
In regard to Clause 9, which undoubtedly facilitates home ownership through the medium of the utility company, I doubt whether there will be any dispute about that approach to the need of providing housing. But, of course, in regard to Clauses 4 and 13, I am afraid that we on this side of the House are going to differ very seriously and very strongly from the hon. Minister—because among other things he divests the local authority of several of its powers. It constitutes, at least in Clause 13, an interference with a local authority and an intrusion, what is more, by a neighbouring or other local authority which is quite unnecessary; and what is perhaps worse from the point of view of hon. members on that side of the House than on ours is that in many cases the Administrator of the province concerned is side-tracked. The Bill furthermore in at least two clauses has the, shall I say, unfortunate feature of retrospectivity, which I have always been led to believe is not a good thing in legislation. Whereas, as has already been said by my colleagues who spoke before me, we support the Bill and its objects, we differ on certain aspects of it and I, for one, would ask the hon. the Minister when he replies to the debate to try and explain just where his objection is to the provision of multi-storey accommodation through the National Housing Commission, and in this way make the maximum use of such ground as is still available— and the hon. Minister says that very little is available—in or near a town, an industrial area, or a place where people have to go to work, and to earn the money for the rent!
The hon. member who has just sat down raised the question of providing housing in the form of single units or multi-storey units. I do not know when I ever said I was not in favour of multi-storey units. What I do emphasize, and what I have emphasized repeatedly since my visit to Europe, is that where at all possible, ideal form of housing is the house with a piece of land attached to it. That is accepted throughout the world. That was all I said. In the past the National Housing Commission has made money available for multi-storey units where it was necessary to erect blocks of flats. They still do so and at the moment multi-storey units are planned for the important centres in the country. I do not know, therefore, what the point was the hon. member tried to make. If his argument is that I am opposed to multi-storey units I can tell him that I am not opposed to it where circumstances demand it, such as where an area is being replanned because a slum area has been demolished, where the area is limited and you have to build in the sky. In those circumstances our policy is to build in the sky. I can provide the hon. member with evidence that we make money available for that purpose and that we have done so in the past. But what we say is this, and this was confirmed during my recent visit to Europe, that where you have to construct units of more than one storey, you must not construct such concrete forests in the sky that they will in years to come turn into slum areas on a large scale, areas in which the people will not have room to move. I visited cities in Europe where they are providing this type of housing on a large scale and those people are busy creating future slum areas on a large scale. We do not want that in South Africa. It depends of course for which section of the population you construct housing in the sky. In the case of those for whom you have to provide sub-economic housing you cannot go too high in the sky. If you have to provide housing for the less privileged Coloured people, for example, you cannot go too high in the sky, otherwise you will be creating social evils which you will not be able to control. That is why the commission adapts itself to the circumstances. The commission is not wedded to one definite type of housing. But we say, and this the hon. member cannot deny, that the single unit on the ground, whether it be a unit for letting or selling purposes, remains the most desirable type of housing if you want to maintain western standards. That is our only line of approach. So there is actually no difference. But we must not exaggerate these things and where we still have land in South Africa we must not commit the crime of building too much in the sky. Naturally you bear in mind such problems as transport and others, but if it is at all possible we try to give each family a piece of land.
The hon. member for Umlazi (Mr. Lewis) told me he would not be here this afternoon. I just want to deal briefly with the few points raised by him. The hon. member referred in the first instance to the question of a woman on the National Housing Commission. He expressed the hope that this Bill would not mean that a woman would no longer serve on the commission. I can assure him that that is not the intention. If that is not clear from the clause, and it does not appear to me to be so, we shall have to take steps in the Committee Stage to make it clear that one woman at least will serve on the commission. I agree with that 100 per cent. When Mrs. Zerilda Steyn died, her presence on the commission was greatly appreciated, the vacancy was immediately filled by the appointment of Professor Erica Theron. That proves that we continually want to have a woman member on the commission.
Why have (c) then?
I wanted to have another definite profession represented on the commission but as I have said I shall explain in the Committee Stage that one of the members of the commission must be a woman. I want hon. members to know that we regard it as important to have a woman on the commission. After I recently obtained permission from the Government to appoint Professor Erica Theron to replace Mrs. Steyn, we came to an agreement with Professor Theron that she would go further than previous women members of the commission and that she would be available to meet women institutions and to address them on the problem of housing. We are at the moment arranging with the most important women institutions in South Africa for Professor Theron to attend their congresses or their head committee conferences where she can discuss housing problems with them. I think everybody will agree with me that Professor Theron is pre-eminently suitable for this.
The hon. member said he had certain doubts about Clause 7. He said he was a little worried about the fact that the actions and decisions of the regional committees would in future be subject to the final approval of the Housing Commission. I think we must leave it at that because the National Housing Commission is after all the watchdog who guards this huge National Housing Fund. Hon. members are perhaps losing sight of the fact that this fund is a revolving fund which is getting stronger and stronger and that we shall gradually reach the position where the fund will carry itself and that we shall in all probability in the foreseeable future be able to ask this House for less money because the funds will be able to finance housing with its own money. That is only one of the reasons but then we must not lessen the control of the National Housing Commission. It must continue to have control over the regional committees. The National Housing Commission must be in the position beforehand, and in consultation with the Secretary of the Department and with the Minister, to lay down the broad direction the regional committees must follow. They must be told: You can make decisions within this framework, but when you want to go outside this framework you must refer back to the National Housing Commission.
The hon. member’s third point was his concern about Clause 13. He said the Minister now wanted one local authority to interfere with the affairs of another local authority as far as the provision of services in one area was concerned. I stated implicitly in my introductory speech that these measures would be applied very sparingly and only in cases where it was absolutely necessary to do so. I also warned members not to interpret this clause incorrectly. Let me give two examples which are self-explanatory. You have divisional councils and municipalities in the Cape Province. You may have a position where a housing programme has to be carried out in an area falling under the jurisdiction of the one while the other authority is really the stronger one which can provide the services. That is what is envisaged here. You get a second example of this nature in the Transvaal where you have the Peri-Urban Board and local authorities and municipalities. It is in these circumstances that we intend stepping in, if necessary, in order to provide the necessary services.
The hon. member for Umlazi also raised another matter which should rather have been raised under my Vote. However, I wish to reply to it now because I do not want the wrong impression to be created. He spoke about the transfer of the Group Areas Development Board to the Department of Housing. This reorganization took place in the closest co-operation with the Public Service Commission, after Cabinet approval had been obtained. The obvious reason is that administratively that will not only facilitate the work, because you now have both bodies concerned with housing and development under one Department, but secondly, because the modern tendency throughout the world is not to have your instruments of development spread over a number of bodies. That was the reason why we took that step. The hon. member was a little unfriendly towards the Development Board and said, inter alia, that the Development Board had so far been a failure. That is not true. I do not know whether the hon. member has ever been to Bosmond in Johannesburg, but if he were to go there I am sure he would not again tell me the Development Board had been a failure.
Was that their first attempt?
That was one of their first attempts and it was a great success. You have Duiwefontein here in Cape Town and I do not think anybody who has seen Duiwefontein will tell me that the Development Board has made a failure of that. Chattsworth in Durban is a result of the interference of the Development Board. The local authority eventually stepped in but the Development Board took the initiative. But apart from these and other schemes, I just want to tell the hon. member that from 1 August 1961 to 31 December 1963 a little over two years, the Development Board was responsible for the conversion of 11,000 properties from disqualified to qualified properties. I do not think it is correct to say the Development Board has been a failure. I have full confidence in the Development Board and its ability and I think where it has been restricted to some extent in the past because of the previous arrangements it will in future be able to undertake developmental work much more effectively in co-operation with the National Housing Commission as organs of the Department of Housing. The hon. member also raised the question of the exercise of the right of pre-emption but I think that is a question the hon. member must please raise under my Vote, because that is purely a matter of policy and does not affect this legislation.
The hon. member and various other hon. members pointed out a few matters which flow from this legislation. They referred, inter alia, to wooden houses and industrialized products such as concrete blocks and other prefabricated material and in the same breath hon. members spoke rather deprecatingly about the standard of the sub-economic housing which is being provided. They spoke, inter alia, about concrete-block and cement-block houses which they alleged were no good and had all sort of defects. I want to avail myself of this opportunity of saying a few words in that connection and I hope we shall hear nothing further about that, because wherever we deal with sub-economic housing there are always a few complaints. The first complaint is that the standard is not high enough and the two-roomed house is then immediately given as an example. But surely that is not fair. The fact of the matter is that the two-roomed house is the basic unit which is made available throughout to the lower income group. It depends on the size of the family and that has on numerous occasions been explained to local authorities by way of circular letters. The interesting thing in this connection is that I discussed this subject of sub-economic housing for a whole morning with the Doxiades Institute. Not only did Doxiades lecture us but we were shown illustrations of the sub-economic housing which was being erected in South America and in the neighbouring East. After they had shown us their standards and we had shown them ours they admitted that the minimum standards for sub-economic housing applied in South Africa were much higher than the sub-economic standards applied elsewhere. I do not know whether the hon. member knows who Doxiades is. He is regarded as the greatest expert on housing and planning in the world. He has his institute in Athens. He is the person who builds cities in various parts of the world. We spent a whole morning with him and he told us our minimum standards were far higher than those applied in most other countries in the world. I therefore hope that our sub-economic housing and our basic housing unit will no longer be belittled in South Africa.
May I ask a question? I listened to the hon. member for Umlazi and his complaint was that so many of these houses were built of cement blocks.
May I ask a question? I wish to refer to Mr. Doxiades and I should like the hon. the Minister to realize …
Order! The hon. member may ask a question.
I want to ask the hon. the Minister whether he realizes that Mr. Doxiades has spent most of his time in Greece which has been subject to many wars and that recently he has spent most of his time in the East?
Order! The hon. member cannot make a speech.
The hon. member who is so worried because I regard the standards applied in South Africa as being higher than those applied in the rest of the world must remember that the vice-president of the Doxiades Institute was born in South Africa. I do not know why the hon. member is so worried when I give South Africa a testimonial.
The third complaint was that the material was not good. But what happens? The building research institute of the C.S.I.R., in co-operation with the technical division of the Department of Housing, lay down the standards; they lay down the standards in respect of all the material, but once we have granted a loan we cannot play the role of an inspector in order to determine whether those houses are built in conformity with the standards prescribed by the building research institute of the C.S.I.R. and our technical division. The local authorities have to see to that. Only last week I had a case where a local authority complained but they did not have an inspector of works when the building contractor carried out the scheme. To-day they come to us and complain whereas it was the building contractor who had cheated them most shamefully. Now they are trying to pin the blame on to the Department and the building research institute. I hope where local authorities carry out schemes they will see to it that proper work is done.
The hon. member for Florida (Mr. Miller) said we should not take these powers because the position was no worse than it was in 1945. Is that a reason why we should not improve the legislation, Sir? If experience throughout the world and in South Africa shows that you can improve the Housing Act and that the methods can be improved by amending the Act must you adhere to the position as it obtained in 1945?
I was speaking about other powers.
I just want to tell the hon. member that before we decided on certain improvements we had had the benefit of the wise counsel of the Netherlands Ministry of Housing, amongst others, who had submitted a White Paper to their Parliament as to how their old laws ought to be improved left and right in order to eliminate all the delays and stumbling blocks and so that action would be taken much quicker. We studied the methods employed in other countries and we decided that our Act should also be modernized. What is wrong with that?
What about the local authorities?
I am coming to that. The hon. member went further and said the Minister had been asleep. He said I ought to have known that my colleague would bring in immigrants and that I ought to have known the Government would bring about a great economic upsurge —he admits that to-day. But is it true that I have been asleep, Sir? I find that as far back as 29 November 1962 I sent a circular letter to all local authorities in which I advised them that we not only had the Department of Housing but that we had established seven regional committees by means of which they could contact the Department more quickly. We stated further at the time that we were going to appoint a special liaison officer whom they could meet and who could enlighten them on matters which were not clear to them. We furthermore asked them please to be on their toes as far as housing was concerned and that it was absolutely essential that we all gave joint attention to the question of housing. That was on 29 November 1962. We sent those circular letters out, appointed a liaison officer and opened regional offices. What is more the Government decided that the Minister, accompanied by his officials, should study the most modern methods in Europe. In what respect were we asleep? The third complaint of the hon. member was that “the Minister is emasculating the powers of the local authorities”. But when you look at Clause 1, Sir, you will see that the very thing we are doing is to assist local authorities further. You will notice that in the agreements I have entered into with the Administrators and in the amendments of which I have already given notice, provision is made that it will not only be the Housing Commission that will have the privilege of erecting building schemes in accordance with the latest methods but that the local authorities will also be asked to do so. When I introduced this Bill I said the following—
I expressed my appreciation of the work done by the majority of local authorities who had co-operated.
What about Clauses 4 and 13?
When I introduce measures to ensure that all local authorities do their duty do I become the enemy of those who are already co-operating? That is the kind of nonsense the hon. member talks. Let us take Johannesburg. The hon. member predicted that I would make an attack on Johannesburg. Does the hon. member know to what extent my Department has co-operated with Johannesburg? Is he aware of the fact that the Secretary of Housing is the chairman of the Planning Committee on which the Johannesburg City Council is represented and other bodies which replan the development of certain areas of that city? But he says we are overlooking the local authorities and do not Want to have anything to do with them.
It is a question of Government policy.
I appointed that committee, not the commission, and the City Council of Johannesburg subsequently expressed their appreciation of the assistance we had given them.
There is one other reply I wish to give in this connection. I wish to quote to hon. members what the mayor of Durban said in connection with my Department. There are also people on the Durban City Council who talks like hon. members opposite. There is a certain Mr. McManus who made a vehement attack on the Government and its policy in connection with the provision of housing. The mayor then replied and said—
That is also my reply to the hon. member for Hospital—
That is my reply to them through the mayor of Durban. But Durban, of course, has a mayor who co-operates, and that is why we do not kill him; we help him and that is why he expresses his appreciation of the assistance he gets. [Interjections.]
There is also objection to Clause 6. We take the power under Clause 6 to let the commission itself carry out a scheme in certain circumstances and then to hand the scheme over to the local authority. Hon. members are dissatisfied because I am taking that step. They say I should have left it as it was, namely, that I first had to obtain the permission of the Administrator. But the Administrator is not the person who has to cope with the housing problem in this country. He is not in a position to know where the Government wants the housing to be modernized or expedited. It is impossible for him at all times to undertake this task, particularly where quick action has to be taken. That is why we are changing the law so that it will be after consultation with him but that we shall in any case have the power, if deemed necessary, to hand the scheme over and to give that local authority the necessary assistance, even if it is not in a position to borrow sufficient money to develop the scheme.
The final point to which I want to return is the question of new material raised by various hon. members. The hon. member for Karoo (Mr. Eden) referred to that in particular. He started off by saying that in the city he wanted to defend against me you had an example of what was being done in order to build a new city. I agree with him but had it not been for the legislation passed by this Government, legislation which forced Kimberley to plan, forced them to clear up the Malay camp, for instance, the heart of Kimberley would still have been a slum area today. But the action of this Government has turned the heart of Kimberley into something to be proud of.
In the second place the hon. member referred to new materials. We do not only want to build wooden houses to expedite this programme. I have also announced the appointment of a committee under Professor Tobie Louw from Pretoria, who is a member of the National Housing Commission. It is hoped that the committee will submit a detailed report towards the end of May on the use of prefabricated materials for housing purposes. I may tell hon. members that our assistant housing engineer is in Europe at the moment in order to make an intensive study of prefabricated material and housing methods. His report will also be taken into account as far as it is practically possible to do so, as well as the decisions in regard to the provision of wooden houses.
In conclusion I want to thank hon. members for approving of the Bill in principle but I hope that the powers we required in order to expedite the provision of housing will not be emasculated in the Committee Stage.
Motion put and agreed to.
Bill read a second time.
Fourth Order read: Resumption of second-reading debate,—Electoral Laws Amendment Bill.
[Debate on motion by the Minister of the Interior, adjourned on 16 April, resumed.]
When the debate was adjourned I was pointing out that it would be unrealistic to believe that these new amendments to the postal vote system would remove all the shortcomings in the system itself. I referred amongst other things to one of the problems in connection with this system in the past—the large number of postal votes, and expressed my concern at the fact that as a result of these amendments, the number of postal votes might possibly increase in the future instead of decreasing. But one thing is certain and that is that this new system will make great demands of the State machine, particularly in the case of magistrates, police, stationmasters and postmasters, people who in the normal course of events already have their hands full with their normal duties. It will be necessary for the presiding officers for absent votes to be available at all time and it is therefore obvious that these people will have to be readily available, particularly during the three weeks immediately preceding elections and that they will also have to be properly remunerated and that they should have adequate staff available. I am optimistic as to the success of this system but if these requirements are not complied with I have my doubts as to the smooth running of the machine.
There are two matters to which I want to draw the attention of the hon. the Minister. The one is the question of the ten mile provision which is being inserted in the principal Act by Clauses 6 and 7. I am pleased that the hon. the Minister has already indicated that we can discuss this matter with him and that he has an open mind in this regard. The Act is now being amended by Clauses 6 and 7 to provide that people who apply for postal votes because they live more than ten miles from the nearest polling station may also not be within the area of a municipality any portion of the boundary of which is within ten miles by the nearest practicable route from the nearest polling station in that division. This new provision gives effect to the recommendation of the commission set out in paragraphs 112 and 113. The commission was faced with a problem that a person living in or near an urban area can indicate on his application for a postal vote that he will be in Cape Town on election day. But then the returning officer will not know precisely where that person will be and will not be able to ascertain that person’s whereabouts. This problem is experienced particularly in a constituency like North-West Rand which lies between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and also to a lesser extent in other constituencies. The commission made this recommendation as a result of this fact, a recommendation which I think is unnecessary at this stage because the difficulty with which the commission was faced no longer exists. My reason for saying this is that it is now being provided in Clause 7 (b) that a voter who applies for a postal vote because of the fact that he will be ten miles away from the nearest polling station must give his residential address, the address where he will be, and it is physically impossible for any returning officer, if he so desires, or if any objection is lodged, to ascertain that that voter is more than ten miles away from the nearest polling station. There is also the further provision that the applicant personally has to initial the reason for his application, his address and the fact that he will be more than ten miles away from the nearest polling station. The objection therefore falls away and it now simply remains a discriminatory provision in regard to voters living in and around the large cities. It is going to present us with problems, examples of which I shall give the House now. Any voter from the Malmesbury constituency and living 40 to 60 miles away from the nearest polling station, or a voter from Riebeek Kasteel living, for example, in Kalk Bay, will not be able to vote by post because there will be a polling station at Blouberg Strand which is within ten miles of the Cape Town municipal boundary. The same thing holds good for Stellenbosch. No voter from Fransch Hoek, Mulders Vlei, Stellenbosch or Somerset-West living in Kalk Bay will be able to vote by post because Brackenfell is within ten miles of the Cape Town municipal boundary. The same thing holds good for False Bay, the Strand, Goodwood and Parow. We already have to deal with thickly populated polling districts in the urban areas where within 12 hours from 6,000 to 8,000 voters have to vote at one polling station. This presents a political organization with a great problem. We all know that the people from Malmesbury living in the city and who will now have to vote at Blouberg will not come along and vote of their own accord; in most cases they will have to be provided with transport. Many are working people who, on arriving home from work in the evening, are not too enthusiastic about going to the nearest polling station if they have to make use of public transport to get there. That is the problem. I feel that there is no longer any justification for this provision because the objections of the commission have now been met. There is another matter that I want to raise. I refer to Clause 24 and the provision in connection with tendered ballot papers. I want to advocate a new principle in this regard. I want to ask that tendered ballot papers should under certain circumstances be accepted and counted. This has never been done in the past. In the past a tendered ballot paper was a fake vote or a consolation vote which was never counted, except if there was a court case, and as far as I know there has never been a court case in regard to a matter of this nature.
When does one make use of a tendered ballot paper? A person makes use of a tendered ballot paper if he arrives at the polling station and somebody has either already voted in his name or has taken out a postal vote in his name. He can then ask for a tendered ballot paper. I want to suggest that if a person arrives at a polling station and asks for a tendered ballot paper because somebody has already voted on his name, that tendered ballot paper should not be counted; but in the second case, a person may arrive at a polling station and find that a postal vote has been issued in his name. A tendered ballot paper will then be issued to him. In the counting of votes afterwards, when it has been ascertained that that postal vote which was issued has not been returned, I feel that tendered ballot paper should also be counted. I do not know what objection there can be to this suggestion. The person’s identity is ascertained when he arrives at the polling station and asks for a ballot paper. Such a person cannot vote twice. If he has used the postal vote originally issued to him, this fact will be discovered when the votes are counted, just as in the case of declaration votes. The envelope containing the tendered ballot paper reflects that person’s name and voting number. All that one has to ascertain is whether his postal vote has been returned. If it has not been returned, then I do not see why his tendered ballot paper should not be counted. I have good reasons for making this suggestion.
My first reason is because, in the past, we had a number of cases in which postal votes were issued but never ever reached their destinations. A man would turn up at the polling station on election day and say that he had applied for a postal vote to be sent to Beaufort West but that it had not arrived the previous day nor had it arrived that day and so he had hitch-hiked to the polling station and he wanted to vote. The presiding officer would then give him a pink paper, the tendered ballot paper, and console or fool him in this way, and that man would then think he had voted, but he would not have voted because that tendered ballot paper meant nothing. The principle which we all accept is that every man who is entitled to vote should have the opportunity to do so. But there is another provision in this Bill which makes it necessary for us to consider counting these tendered ballot papers. The presiding officer for absent votes may perhaps not have been successful in tracing a certain person and in terms of Section 26 of the principal Act he holds back the postal vote that has not been claimed until 4 o’clock on the day before polling day and then he has to send it back to the returning officer by whom it was issued. We may have the case in which the presiding officer has not been successful in tracing the voter who has made application. The vote is therefore not claimed before 4 o’clock on the day immediately preceding polling day, and by the time the applicant for that postal vote arrives, the postal vote will already have been returned in terms of the new provision. It will already be on its way back to the returning officer but nobody will be able to lay his hand on it because it will be in the post, and the man who has applied for it wants to vote. It is easy for a man in this position, e.g. living at Worcester to reach the polling station in Cape Town within that time. He arrives at the polling station and is given a tendered ballot paper, which does not count. I want to ask that we accept this principle— that when a man is given a tendered ballot paper because a postal vote has been taken out in his name, when that man has not voted and when it is ascertained when the postal votes are counted that that postal vote has not been returned, that tendered ballot paper must be accepted. I say that the principle which is accepted by all of us is that every man who is entitled to vote must be able to vote if he so desires. Indeed, this is also the reason why we have postal votes—to make it possible for everyone to vote. That is why I hope that the hon. the Minister will consider the matter from this point of view and move an amendment accordingly.
The hon. member for Parow (Mr. S. F. Kotzé) raised a few interesting points and I agree with him in regard to at least two of the points he raised. The first is the question of the State machine, the public servants who will to a large extent be responsible for the smooth running of this machine. This is a good thing and we should be pleased that the State has taken a larger share of the burden in this regard upon its own shoulders. The hon. the Minister will have to ensure that his officials are remunerated accordingly but it is a step in the right direction.
Then there is the question of the provisions of Clause 7. Here too I think that one should support what has been said by the hon. member. He sketched the background to the clause and described the practical circumstances of the case to us and I think that the hon. the Minister will do well to reconsider this clause in the light of what the hon. member has said.
I do not feel too happy about the question of tendered ballot papers. It appears to me as though the suggestion of the hon. member for Parow may possibly lead to malpractices and I should like to say that before the hon. the Minister accepts his suggestion, he give the matter further consideration.
When the hon. the Minister introduced this Bill he made it very clear that the Bill was not the product of public servants, of the hon. the Minister himself or of political parties, but was the product of a commission—first committee and then a commission—consisting of State officials and representatives of political parties. It is strange to consider that although the parties are so often at loggerheads with one another in regard to many matters there is a great deal of unanimity in this regard. I think that this is due to the fact not that the parties have done their duty but rather to the sincere desire that existed on both sides to place the election machine beyond question. If there is one piece of legislation which should be placed beyond suspicion it is our Electoral Act. Apart from the fact that the Electoral Act sets up the machinery in terms of which this Parliament functions, it is also a fact that the provisions of the Electoral Act are put into top gear just at the time when public emotions are running high. One finds at that stage that the smallest irregularity is blown up to extraordinary proportions and it is said that a party has been acting outrageously. But on closer inspection, one finds that this is not so. I can remember cases in which some people considered it to be quite an accomplishment to take the wind out of the sails of an opposing party. But the strange part about it is this: That although we have had so many tales about possible suspicion and malpractices, the fact remains that if one goes through this report and reads the evidence that has been given, one realizes that the incidence of malpractices that actually take place is very slight. I should like to quote paragraph 92 of the report. I think that it is of very great importance. It reads (translation)—
Of course, I am the last one to try to condone malpractices, no matter how slight their incidence, but the fact remains that the incidence of these malpractices is far slighter than one is given to realize.
Nevertheless, it is true that the postal vote system as such is actually the system which has been the cause of most of the suspicion. Although this Bill makes a large number of improvements, I think that we will be making a mistake if we imagine that we will now succeed in putting a stop to all irregularities or that we have found the perfect solution to our problems. Even an improved system will have its crop of problems, problems which will have to be solved by that wise teacher, experience. Personally I believe that basically the problem can only be solved if we can succeed in limiting postal votes to a minimum. I do not mean that certain people should be disfranchised, but I believe that the registration system should be improved to such an extent that a person will only be able to vote in the constituency in which he lives. To my mind there are a few important principles embodied in these electoral laws. The first is the question of secrecy, and secondly, that no pressure can be brought to bear on a voter and that he should be free to cast his vote as he thinks fit. Thirdly, there is the fact that every person who has the right to vote, ought to be able to vote; but this principle is subject to a condition which is just as important and that is that a person who has the right to vote should only be able to exercise that right in a specific area. I think that if we consider the postal vote system, we will find that it is the source of most of our problems. It appears to be quite wrong to my mind that a person living in constituency A should be permitted in terms of the postal vote system to vote in constituency B, where he has no interest. His interests lie in the constituency in which he lives. Nevertheless, he is permitted to cancel out the vote of a person living in that person’s own constituency, and to that extent I feel that this practice should not be allowed. When we look at the postal vote figures, we find that the figures are highest in those constituencies where there is the hardest fight. It is in these constituencies that the highest number of votes of people who actually do not belong in those constituencies are cast, thus neutralizing the votes of those who have every right to vote in those constituencies. We find that this principle is recognized in other countries. There are certain states in the U.S.A. in which the Vtoers’ Roll is prepared only just before an election. It is prepared exclusively for the election with the result that every person living in a particular area can vote at that election. I realize that circumstances in South Africa may not permit of our applying a system of this nature, but I do feel that the system which we now have does not do very much towards reducing the number of postal votes. I believe that these amendments to the Electoral Act constitute an important step in the right direction. They may not provide us with the final answer but I think that the commission which the hon. the Minister appointed and which consisted of members of both parties did a great deal towards eliminating the suspicions that did exist in connection with the Electoral Act. I honestly believe that all political parties—and they are the ones to ensure that the Electoral Act operates smoothly—which want the Electoral Act to operate in the spirit in which the commission investigated the matter, will agree that these amendments to the Electoral Act will contribute in no small way towards establishing efficient electoral machinery for the future.
I want to associate myself with the spirit in which the hon. member for Maitland (Mr. Hickman) approached this matter. It is true that this Bill really represents the joint effort of the two main parties in our country which were represented on the commission. After the fine spirit revealed by the hon. the Minister as well as by his Department in regard to these two aspects, namely, the registration system and the postal voting system, we could set out to look for the best system that it was possible for us to devise for this country. I think that it is a good thing that everybody concerned revealed such a fine spirit and that we could reach this measure of agreement with a view to producing the best system as far as the postal voting system is concerned and the change which is now being introduced—the new setup that we are creating here—I have a few minor misgivings, but I am prepared to say that I think that we should first give this new system an opportunity to withstand the test at the forthcoming provincial election. If I remember correctly, the hon. the Minister also told us that he would be the first person to come forward to ensure that the necessary changes were made if any difficulties were experienced. But as far as the registration system is concerned, I can say in all sincerity as a practical politician and as one who, like the hon. member for Maitland, has to deal with this sort of thing every day, that we have undoubtedly succeeded in introducing the best system that I at any rate can think of. I want to congratulate the hon. the Minister and his Department in this regard. Amending legislation to change our registration system has been introduced repeatedly since 1918 but I am convinced that in practice the system which we are now introducing will prove to be the best we have ever had in South Africa. In the first instance there are three points that I want to mention. The two political parties, will now have an opportunity to play watchdog over each other in keeping the Voters’ Rolls accurate and up to date. Moreover, the returning officer in the particular area will have an important role to play as arbitrator. Secondly, I think we will eliminate the loading of the Voters’ Roll. Sir, to realize how a Voters’ Roll can be loaded, one need only look at the Queenstown Voters’ Roll as it stood before the last election. And it is a perfectly natural thing to do so. A political party which under the old system within the rules was unable to load a Voters’ Roll, was not worth its salt, and that is what we did at Queenstown; the system allowed us to do so. The two political parties simply acted within the then existing rules. We took full advantage of the rules. But this new system will now make it possible for the two parties to play watchdog over each other in keeping the Voters’ Rolls as accurate and as up to date as possible. I think this registration system will help to reduce the number of postal votes. But there is one aspect that I want to mention to the hon. the Minister in regard to these regulations. The State is prepared to assume far more responsibility in the future as far as the handling of postal votes is concerned. The handling of these postal votes was a heavy burden which rested upon the various political parties. The State will be prepared to make a far more important contribution in this respect in the future, both financially and otherwise. But if we want to make this registration system of ours the very best system that South Africa has ever known, then I should like to suggest to the hon. the Minister that the State should also give much more assistance and accept far more responsibility at a general registration of voters. Sir, I want to say with a full sense of responsibility—I think the hon. member for Maitland will agree with me—that the last general registration was probably one of the most unsatisfactory we have ever had. I am sorry to have to say it but it is true. The results of these two interim mediate registrations have proved this to be true and the registration which is in progress at the moment will prove that the last general registration was the most unsatisfactory ever undertaken by the State. If the State is prepared to accept greater responsibility at a general registration then I do not have the slightest doubt that we will be able to introduce the best possible system. I should like to make a few suggestions in this regard. Do you know, Mr. Speaker, that the position during the last general registration, not merely in a few polling districts but in numbers of polling districts in the Cape, was that not one single voter was registered by the State in those polling districts because this work was so badly done? There were other places in which there were signs of absolute negligence on the part of people who did this work on behalf of the State. Here I have in mind, the centres in which there are large concentrations of students. This is the sort of thing that happened: The enumerator arrives at a hostel and simply hands over a number of cards to the primarius of the hostel who then has to do the work for him. Or otherwise he walks down the street and comes to a certain house. When he knocks at the door, nobody answers. He then simply assumes that the only people living there are Oom Jan and Tant Sannie; he then takes two registration cards and pushes them under the door. It never enters his head that there may be children or lodgers living in that house as well. Sir, I can mention numerous examples to you to show what approach was adopted to this question of a general registration. I should like to make a few suggestions in this connection. The first is in regard to the enumerators themselves. During the last general registration there was a tendency when enumerators were appointed not to appoint party workers. In certain complexes particularly the attitude was deliberately adopted that party workers should not be appointed as enumerators because they belonged to certain political parties. Sir, one can make an analysis of what happened in the Cape. In complexes where the approach was just the opposite, where the persons concerned, the returning officers, tried to find people who were connected with the various political parties, persons who had the necessary background and knowledge, this general registration was done on a completely different basis to the way in which it was done in those areas where attempts were made to exclude party workers as enumerators. Then there is the question of the remuneration paid to these people. Sir, I really do think, to use a striking Afrikaans term, that these people are paid “kafferlone” (kaffir wages).
Bantu wages.
Yes, perhaps I should say “Bantu wages”. The remuneration is so poor that any man who is really capable of doing this work well is simply not interested. People who in the past have been prepared to assist the State in a general registration simply say: “It does not pay me; I shall never do it again.” The result is that one is only able to obtain the services of people of an inferior calibre to do this work. I think we must adopt a completely different approach to this matter. The State must be prepared to get the best people to do this work and to pay them decent remuneration; the State should also make use of the services of party workers. The third point that I want to mention is the co-operation that should exist during a general registration between what I would call a triumvirate—in the first instance, the Press and the radio; secondly, the two political parties, and thirdly, the electoral office itself. These organizations form a triumvirate during a general registration and they must co-operate with one another. For example, in the last registration campaign, efforts were made to make use of the radio. But, Mr. Speaker, this was done in a most unimaginative manner. For example, a few talks were given on how to fill in the R.V.3 form. Sir, I think the necessary co-operation can be obtained and I think we should make use of modern methods. Here I think, for example, of the Decimal Dan method that was used over the radio. This is the way in which the radio can be utilized during a general registration. The two political parties may feel inclined to pay this fellow Fanus Rautenbach a small retainer, if necessary, so that when we have a general registration, he can introduce this sort of thing in his early morning programme which at the moment is very popular. We must show far more imagination during a general registration campaign in order to obtain greater co-operation between the Press and the radio on the one hand, and the electoral offices and various political parties on the other. I think that we will then achieve far more success.
Use television as well.
One never knows. There is another point which I want to mention here and that is in regard to the sending out of the R.V.3 form. Once people have completed registration cards in a general registration, the cards are returned to the electoral office. An acknowledgment card is then sent to the people who sent in their registration cards. If we can obtain the co-operation of the radio in the way that I have just mentioned here, it can be announced over the radio or in the Press that these acknowledgment cards or R.V.3 cards will be sent out on a particular day. The entire public will then know that after they have sent in their registration card they can expect an acknowledgment from the State to inform them that their names now appear on the Voters’ Roll. Oom Jan and Tant Sannie will then know that if they do not receive that card within two or three days from the date announced, they should make an effort to ensure that their names do appear on the Voters’ Roll. They will then know that their names were not taken down during the general registration, either in error or for some other reason.
My last point, Mr. Speaker, is in connection with the availability of these registration cards. I took the trouble this morning to telephone a few magistrates’ offices and a few police offices in the Peninsula—I telephoned nine of them—and I found that there was not one single registration card available at any of the offices where those cards are supposed to be available to the public—unless the people who spoke to me did not know what was going on in their offices. What is the actual position? Take a person moving to an area like Bellville. He is prepared to take the trouble to register; he is a new-comer to that area; he does not know the contacts of the various political parties, and he wants to obtain a registration card. Do you know, Sir, what he has to do? He has to come in from Bellville to obtain a registration card from the office in Cape Town. As a rule, the ordinary voter refuses to do that. It is too much trouble. Is it not possible for the hon. the Minister to make some arrangement with the post office whereby these registration cards will be available at every post office? There are post offices everywhere and any person who walks into a post office to buy a stamp or to fill in a telegram form can then obtain a registration card there together with the envelope in which the card can be returned. If a person wants to take the trouble to fill in a registration form, all he need do is to walk into the post office and complete the registration form. I think, Mr. Speaker, that this is a practical suggestion and that we should make use of our post offices; the ordinary citizen will then know that the post office is one of the places at which he will be able to complete a registration card if he wants to take the trouble to register as a voter. In any case, I hope that we will eventually reach the stage in South Africa under our present population registration system when we will be able to do away with a Voters’ Roll completely. I do not know whether the hon. the Minister’s Department is working along these lines but I think that it can be done. We must have a new approach; we must find a new system and we have our population registration system which we can use as a basis. I want to conclude, Mr. Speaker, by once again conveying my gratitude to the hon. the Minister. He is also a man who in his day was concerned with the practical aspects of politics. I have been impressed by the devoted and enthusiastic way in which he has tried to help us to find a new electoral system for South Africa and on behalf particularly of this side of the House I want to convey our hearty thanks to him for his devoted efforts to find the best system for South Africa.
I want to thank hon. members who have taken part in this debate very heartily for their contributions. What they have said here is clear proof not only to this House but to the whole country that the report which was brought out by the Commission of Inquiry truly reflects the views of both political parties represented in this House. I want to say at once that I agree with the hon. member for Maitland and also with the report that the stories that we hear about so-called malpractices and offences committed in connection with postal voting are hopelessly exaggerated. I still believe in the incorruptibility and honesty of people. I feel, however, that any system which lends itself to malpractices puts too much temptation in the way of people; that the fault lies with the Legislature and that it is the duty of the Legislature to close the loopholes.
I want to underline that because I think the erroneous impression may be created in the outside world that we are very worried about our electoral system, that we believe that it is so corrupt and so wrong that we have now at last entered into a compromise to make it less corrupt. I do not think that that correctly reflects the facts.
Sir, I want to express my hearty thanks to the main speaker on the other side, who was also a member of the Commission of Inquiry, the hon. member for Durban (Point) (Mr. Raw) for his lucid exposition and for the intensive study which he made of the Bill which is now before the House. He has shown that he really studied this Bill in detail. He has raised certain matters here that we can discuss very fruitfully in the Committee Stage. I can say to the hon. member that many of the points raised by him—this is not the time to go into details—will receive my very sympathetic consideration because it is clear to me, in the case of many of the points that he mentioned, that his only object is to bring about greater clarity with a view to implementing the recommendations of this Commission, that his intentoin is to close loopholes which may still possibly exist. There are one or two of his proposals, of course, which unfortunately I shall not be able to accept—I still do not have the details—but the hon. member can move his amendments in the Committee Stage and we shall then discuss them with the greatest frankness. The hon. member has also put forward the proposition that the information that we can obtain from the municipalities in respect of changes of address will prove inadequate. I want to assure the hon. member that this whole matter, including the reliability of the information available from different sources, not only from municipalities, will be thoroughly investigated by a team of O. & M. officials. We must first investigate this whole matter thoroughly; we cannot simply accept that the data that we can get from the municipalities will in fact contain all the information that we ought to have in our possession. We must investigate all sources of information, and indeed, as I said in the second reading debate, if it will help us to bring the Voters’ Rolls up to date I am in favour of making use of that system. The hon. member for Pinelands (Mr. Thompson) raised two questions and posed two problems here, which were enlarged upon by the hon. member for Moorreesburg (Mr. P. S. Marais). The first concerns the role which the political parties play in a general registration. I want to admit at once that I felt very unhappy indeed about the general registration which was held in August last year. I agree with hon. members that it was a poor general registration; it is no true reflection of the number of voters in the various constituencies—with a few exceptions where the enumerators set about things in the right way. Various suggestions have been made as to how we can rectify the position. The hon. member for Pinelands, for example, asked whether the time had not come for us to think of giving a certain amount of financial compensation to the political parties whose task it is to follow up the general registration. According to the principles of our Electoral Laws, of course, the onus rests on the voter to register himself. It is his duty to register himself. The State assists him by bearing the cost of the registration to a certain extent. The political parties have a very great interest in seeing to it that the name of the negligent voter who does not register himself is in fact put on the roll. As the hon. member for Moorreesburg has said, this task really rests on the shoulders of a triumvirate. I think we would be going a little too far if we started compensating political parties for the costs incurred by them in registering voters because they have the same task to-day really as far as the collection of applications for postal votes is concerned. It is in thejr own interests to do so, and the existing sections in the Act which make provision for the political parties to collect the applications for postal votes remain unchanged. While I am on this subject I may as well deal at once also with the second difficulty of the hon. member for Pinelands. The hon. member asked whether we should not allow absent voters to complete their application for a postal vote before nomination day. I want to tell him that we would be placing the political parties in a completely untenable position if we did that. When does one find out that a voter is absent? One finds that out for the first time when one has the complete roll and when one checks the names; it is only then that one discovers that this person is ill, that that person is bedridden, etc. There are others who tell one in advance, “I should like to come and vote on election day but I shall be away on holiday.” The hon. member wants us to wait until just before nomination day.
No.
That was how I understood the hon. member’s request. I shall give him an opportunity to explain what he did say.
I merely felt that there was a tendency to start collecting these applications far too early. I myself did not express any opinion as to when they should be collected. I concede that nomination day would be much too late.
One cannot wait until just before nomination day because at that stage one still does not know precisely who the candidates are going to be. Since the declaration which has to accompany the application has to be initialled by the applicant personally, the possibility of manufacturing large numbers of postal votes is ruled out. I think we should leave the political parties a certain amount of freedom because their organization is becoming more and more difficult. One has to get canvassers to go through one’s constituency two or three times to encourage voters to come and vote. We know all the problems. Sir, the hon. member for Pretoria (Central) put forward another suggestion. I want to dispose first of the suggestions which seem to me to be impracticable. He suggested as far as justices of the peace are concerned that they should only be able to act as enumerators in the wards in which they have jurisdiction.
In the constituency really.
Yes, but not too far away. I do not know why he put forward that proposal but I have an idea that his reason is that the voters are not well known to justices of the peace because they only move in a certain circle. But what about public servants? Do they know the people any better? I do not feel that any distinction should be drawn between the functions of a justice of the peace and the functions of a public servant. The hon. member for Durban (Point) has put forward the idea that we should find a justice of the peace to act as presiding officer. I am not in favour of that for the simple reason that the financial position and the daily work of such a justice of the peace may be such that he is unable to do this work at the present rate of remuneration. In the case of the public servant, however, a responsibility rests on his shoulders to do this work, and, moreover, he receives additional remuneration for it. I do not feel therefore that we should lay down that a justice of the peace must necessarily be the presiding officer.
The hon. member for Parow (Mr. S. F. Kotzé), as well as the hon. member for Maitland (Mr. Hickman), stated that there would be an increase in the number of postal votes; they want to limit it. I too would like to limit it in this sense that there should be no unnecessary postal voting, but as long as the votes are genuine postal votes I hope my hon. friends do not object to an increase in the number of postal votes. To me it makes no difference whether a voter votes on polling day at a polling booth or whether he casts his vote before polling day in the presence of a presiding office for absent votes. I think we should accept the principle that every man is entitled to cast his vote; we should not therefore place restrictions upon him. The two hon. members in question also agreed that we were expecting a great deal from the public servants. They seem to harbour a secret fear that public servants will not be able to do this work. Let me just say this to them: If this provincial election shows that their fear is well-founded or that there are still other loopholes, there will be time enough to rectify the position, but for the moment I think we should leave it at that. The public servants who have to do this work will be properly I compensated; they will be looked after properly and this work will be entrusted to them as part of their duties. An adequate number of persons will be appointed so that they will be able to do this work properly. The hon. member put forward two ideas here: As far as the 10-mile limitation is concerned I want to say at once that in my opinion he made out a very good case, and he will be able to raise this matter in the Committee Stage again. His case was strengthened considerably by the support he received from the hon. member for Maitland. We must only guard against making it more difficult for people to cast their votes. Our whole idea is to make it possible and easy for people to vote. If there are members on either side of the House who hold different views, then we can settle this matter in the Committee Stage. I just want to say to him that I will ask my Department to prepare such an amendment so that after having tested the feelings of members who have a knowledge of both the platteland and the city, we can see whether we cannot arrive at an unanimous decision.
I cannot agree with the hon. member’s remarks in connection with tendered votes. I think the hon. member loses sight of the fact that when a person tenders his postal vote he has to produce his identity card. We know what used to happen in the past. Somebody applies for a postal vote; he is not the person, however, whose name has been registered; the postal vote is then sent to a certain address; that postal vote is never tendered and on election day, when the right person turns up, he is told that a ballot paper has been issued to him as an absent voter, a ballot paper which he never received. We have now closed every loophole because the person who wishes to vote has to produce his identity card or some other form of identification. In other words, his application for a postal vote will be a genuine application.
May I put a question to the hon. the Minister: I was referring to the case where a ballot paper to vote through the post has been issued and where the person admits that he applied for it but where it did not reach him or where it was sent back by the postal official before it was claimed. What happens then?
That is correct. What I am saying is that there are so many watertight provisions in this Bill that that person must be very negligent indeed if he does not complain to the electoral officer that he has not yet received his ballot paper to vote through the post, and if the political party in question is unable to trace that ballot paper, then its organization must be very poor indeed because the moment a ballot paper is issued for postal voting purposes the organizations of both parties are notified that a ballot paper has been issued to Mr. A to vote through the post and they are also given his address. These watertight provisions have never existed before. The Government is presenting the party organizations with all this information on a platter. I think if the hon. member thinks again and again studies all the provisions, not only this one, he will realize that his proposal that tendered votes should be counted, if we accept it, might lead to very serious malpractices under certain circumstances; it would just open another loophole again. It would also be wrong in principle to differentiate between the tendered vote which is issued because somebody has already voted in the person’s name and the tendered vote which is issued because a postal vote has already been issued in the name of that voter. You will either have to count both or ignore both; you cannot differentiate between the two.
I want to thank the hon. member for Moorreesburg very heartily for what he said in connection with our registration system. He put forward certain suggestions which all relate to administrative matters. I have made a note of all of them and I want to assure him that we will take notice of them and that as far as possible we will apply them administratively. As far as his last suggestion is concerned that we must eventually use the population register as a Voters’ Roll, I can only say that we are already thinking along those lines. Once the population register is complete it will eliminate a tremendous number of problems. However, I do not want to discuss it at this stage; it is not relevant here; I mention it just in passing. Hon. members on the other side were very much opposed to the population register, and still are, for different reasons, but eventually …
How many years will it still take?
I do not think it will be very long. The hon. member will be surprised to learn what rapid progress we are making. Mr. Speaker, I think I have now replied to the most important points. I want to thank all hon. members very heartily once again. This Bill can best be dealt with in the Committee Stage. I want to make an appeal to hon. members to submit their amendments as soon as possible. This is not a case where amendments can be formulated in a hurry in the Committee Stage; the Act has too many implications. We are dealing here with five electoral laws, and it is very difficult to fit in everything. We must see to it that the wording is right. The law advisers will have to have at least a whole day to study the amendments to make sure that they are correct. I appeal to hon. members to let us have their amendments as soon as possible therefore.
Motion put and agreed to.
Bill read a second time.
