Chairperson, I hereby give notice that I intend moving the following motion:
That the House debates the scandal involving the use of parliamentary travel vouchers.
Mr Chairman, I hereby give notice that I intend moving the following motion:
That the House-
1) notes with dismay allegations that Mr N Goniwe, MP, the ANC Chief Whip, has avoided the service of court documents relating to a maintenance claim against himself; and
(2) while expressing no opinion about the court action, since the hon Goniwe is entitled to his day in court when his liability or otherwise will be determined, nevertheless states that it is unacceptable for a member of this House to hide behind his or her immunity when he or she could easily either waive that immunity, or attend, at the office of the sheriff, to accept service of court documents.
(Mr G Q M Doidge): Hon Ellis, I would like to inform you that that motion is out of order. I will look at it once again, and we will correspond with you. You are aware that that is not the appropriate avenue to raise a motion, which should have been a substantive motion.
Mr Chairman, I beg to differ. I think, under the circumstances of this particular case, you will find that everything is in order. But I await your further judgment on it, sir.
Chairperson, I hereby give notice that I intend moving the following motion:
That the House debates what the government can do to improve the export performance of South Africa in order to combat the deficit on the current account to ensure that-
(1) the rand is not put under undue pressure by the balance of paymentS situation;
2) further upwards pressure is not being exerted on inflation; and
3) South Africa's economic growth is not slowed down by consequent interest rate increases.
Chair, on behalf of the ACDP, I give notice that I shall move:
That the House debates -
1) the growing challenge that dementia, of which Alzheimer's disease is the most common form, presents;
2) the urgent need for an adequate response by government and society; and
3) the desperate need for research in South Africa to better understand the extent of this disease and to remedy the great lack of understanding which currently leaves sufferers undiagnosed and vulnerable to financial, emotional and physical abuse.
