Comment: Defence Amendment Bill [B11-2010]

Please Note the deadline for public comments has been extended to 23 July 2010

The Portfolio Committee on Defence and Military Veterans invites interested persons and stakeholders to submit written comments on the Defence Amendment Bill [B11-2010].

The Defence Amendment Bill [B11-2010] seeks to:


      •  Ensure that Reserve Force members can be utilised and required to perform service in the Defence Force at all times, including peacetimes, and 

      • Establish a permanent Defence Force Service Commission - a body that will advise the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans on the improvement of conditions of service of members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). 

Interested stakeholders and persons are also invited to submit written comments on the proposed inclusion of an additional clause in the Defence Amendment Bill that will provide for the inclusive definition of “Military Command". Section 202(1) of the South African Constitution requires the President to appoint the "Military Command of the Defence Force". The Defence Act (No 42 of 2002), however, does not define the concept "Military Command"; instead, sections 7(1) and 13(1) of the Defence Act only stipulate the appointment of the Secretary of Defence and the Chief of the SANDF by the President. An inclusive definition of the Military Command is therefore proposed, to include the appointment of the Chiefs of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Medical Health Services, Defence Intelligence and Joint Operations to this structure.
Comments can be emailed to the Committee Secretary: Ms Mandy Balie at mbalie@parliament.gov.za by no later than 16 July 2010.
