Dear Portfolio Committee on Basic Education,

Thank you for your time and effort regarding the Bela Bill.

This is a very important Bill for us South Africans. I am very concerned about the current and future education of the beautiful children of this country.

As my concern and love for all children of this country runs deep, I would like to raise my concern regarding the uncounted submissions to this Committee and now am concerned about the recounting of said submissions.

Is this counting going to be done with integrity and truly with the best interests of the children in mind? Who will validate this recount. When will an objective third party be brought in to confirm counting?

Thank you for your time
Kind regards
Tanya Furniss
