I wish to speak on the amendment. I support the amendment but I want clarification from the Minister as to what is deemed to be the private life of the individual and deemed to be of importance to the interest of the public and legitimately published. This is a major issue and it would be great to have clear guidelines in this regard. We have all witnessed the intrusion into the private lives of individuals which some members of the media state is of interest to the public.
