 | | SAGENE's new terms of reference included furnishing advice to any Minister, statutory or government body on any form of legislation or controls pertaining to the importation and/or release into the environment of GMOs. |
 | | This meant that industry-linked SAGENE members like Muffy Koch, who is part of the industry-backed lobby group AfricaBio, and Jane Morris, who was nominated onto SAGENE by the South African Chamber of Business, were able to play a key role in the drafting of the Act. |
