MR STRYDOM
No, it doesn't give any other powers but to prescribe to prescribed form.  Now obviously that would be open to argument, what the meaning of prescribed form is if the Minister will have the powers to then have certain things added in this form but my submission is that if these powers would have been so wide or the intention was to make it so wide then to add under oath and things like that in block letters, that would have been in the Act itself, so those powers are actually limited and the powers only to prescribe the form, the kind of form, that would be the submission.
	What I was saying is that the latter portion of the section is directory and the reason why I'm saying that is - or shall I just go one step back - now the test is to determine if a certain section is preemptory or directory, one would have to look at the intention of the legislature who will have to look at the Act as a whole and the purpose of the Act wants to serve and all other things like that and if one does that, one will have to have regard to Section 19 and Section 19 creates the procedure whereby any application, I place emphasis on "any" application may be returned to the applicant and give such direction in respect of the completion and submission of the application as may be necessary or request the applicant to provide such further particulars as it may deem necessary.  Now the purpose of that section is specifically to deal with applications that has not adhered strictly to the prescribed form, that is my submission and therefore, I say that that second part of Section 18 is only directory and is not preemptory.
