Mr. Speaker Sir, because of his busy schedule as Minister of Education, Sports and Culture,
Hon. David Coltart was replaced by Hon. Edward Mkhosi as Co-chair of the Select
Committee. In the course of this exercise, Hon. Edward Chindori-Chininga was recalled by
his party and was replaced by Hon. Lazarus Dangwa Kambarami Dokora.
Your Committee also wishes to report that we lost Hon. Jabulani. B. Ndhlovu in December
2010 following a tragic accident, and was replaced by Hon. Innocent Gonese. We also lost
Hon. Gladys Gombami-Dube in December 2011 in a sudden death that shocked the
Committee. May their souls rest in eternal peace. Hon J. B. Ndhlovu was not replaced, and
the Committee concluded the process with one member less.
In order to effectively undertake its mandate, and cognisant of the many roles the Parliament
staff was engaged in, the Select Committee established its own secretariat in December 2009,
which was to fully concentrate on the task at hand as strict timelines had been set up in
Article VI of the GPA. This was to give the Committee unfettered attention in order to
comply with the deadlines provided. Regrettably, the process took longer than anticipated for
reasons to be outlined later in this report.
The secretariat which supported the Select Committee comprised of the following officers:
1. Mr. Gift Marunda – Acting National Coordinator
2. Ms. Taurwi Mabeza
3. Mr. Alex Masumba
4. Mr. Irimayi Mukwishu
5. Mrs. Spiwe Mutonga
6. Ms. Gloria Ganyani
7. Mr. Canlington Mbiri
8. Mr. Earnest Nyamukachi
9. Ms. Angeline Hobwana
10. Mr. Gifford Mehluli Sibanda
