Gauteng
18 March 2009
The National Council of Provinces will tomorrow (Thursday) morning meet to
look at a number of bills that include the Constitution Sixteenth Amendment
Bill and the Cross Boundary Municipalities Laws Repeal and Related Matters
Amendment Bill.
The Constitution Sixteenth Amendment Bill aims to amend the Constitution in
order to re-determine the geographical areas of the provinces of Gauteng and
North West which will result in the reincorporation of the Merafong City Local
Municipality into Gauteng.
The Cross Boundary Municipalities Laws Repeal and Related Matters Amendment
Bill seeks to amend the Cross Boundary Repeal Act so as to provide for the
re-demarcation of the boundaries of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda and West Rand
District Municipalities.
The two bills were last week approved by the select committees on Security
and Constitutional Affairs and the Local Government and Administration.
Other bills that will be tabled are the Division of Revenue Bill and Western
Cape Inherited Debt Relief Bill.
The house will also receive reports on taking parliament to the people, the
appointment of members to the National Youth Development Agency Board and the
agreement between the governments of Lesotho and South Africa on the
Facilitation of Cross-Border Movement of citizens between the two
countries.
