Political parties must go back and finalise their positions and circulate them so that we move forward together at the next meeting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting the ANC made a presentation on its revised position.<\/p>\n<p>ANC MP Cyril Xaba said they believed negotiations were a process of give and take.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that way you accept that you may walk away with a different position than when you first entered the discussion,\u201d Xaba said.<\/p>\n<p>He also stated that they were dealing with a constitutional amendment that required the support of two thirds majority in the National Assembly and six provinces in the National Council of Provinces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo single party on its own can muster the two thirds and therefore we need parties to find each other for the good of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In its presentation, the ANC retains the courts involvement as final arbiter, and the state can be custodian of land under certain circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>It also proposed that there should be national legislation that sets out the circumstances for nil compensation in furtherance of land reform.<\/p>\n<p>However, EFF deputy leader Floyd Shuvambu said they fundamentally disagreed with the ANC&#8217;s revised position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything that says subject to compensation, we are not to agree to that. Anything that says custodian for certain land is problematic,\u201d Shivambu said.<\/p>\n<p>He told the meeting that the EFF was now engaging the ANC top six officials over the constitutional amendment as those entrusted with bilateral meetings were not decision-makers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can assure chair that post-Wednesday next week we will know whether we are coming or going in terms of the process. If we disagree it&#8217;s Okay and then we will see how else do we then deal with the land question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that there were other options available and the people have been taking back land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe it must be elevated to a much more radical and decisive mechanism if the politicians do not want to agree on a simple and straight forward approach,\u201d Shivambu said.<\/p>\n<p>Motshekga said any suggestion that there was another ANC position was out of order and said it was not the spirit of conducting business to want one\u2019s demands to be met regardless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that we need two thirds majority to pass legislation does not give anyone the right to blackmail others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>DA MP Annelie Lotriet took issue that Xaba said the purpose of the bilateral meeting was to get the two thirds majority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe focus and premise was what is in the interest of the country and people, not the ANC to get two thirds majority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to reiterate the DA position that we do not agree with the proposed amendments. We don&#8217;t think the constitution has to be amended,\u201d Lotriet said.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom Front Plus\u2019 Corne Murder said they were not in favour of the whole notion of expropriation without compensation.<\/p>\n<p>He said nil compensation should be provided for in the constitution and not be referred to national legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be expressly indicated and stipulated in the constitution under which circumstances that would be an option, not in terms of the national legislation,\u201d Mulder said.<\/p>\n<p>ANC MPs raised concerns that the others parties were not shifting from their initial stances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not seen any other party attempting to move from its position,\u201d Sibusiso Gumede said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Political Bureau<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
