Voorsitter, ek stel sonder kennisgewing voor:
Dat die Raad -
1) kennis neem dat in Die Burger van 11 Oktober 2009 'n berig verskyn het dat die Departement van Kuns en Kultuur in 2007-08 R750 000 aan die Black Tie Ensemble skool geskenk het;
2) verder kennis neem dat die belofte wat gemaak is om in 2008-09 dieselfde bedrag te skenk, nie eerbiedig is nie en daarom nou die skool nadelig raak in hul beplande optrede; en
3) die Minister van Kuns en Kultuur vra om ondersoek in te stel waarom net die helfte betaal is, na verskeie versoeke, en die uitslag daarvan aan die Raad te rapporteer. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.) [Mr M J R DE VILLIERS: Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that in Die Burger of 11 October 2009 an article appeared that the Department of Arts and Culture donated R750 000 to the Black Tie Ensemble school in 2007-08;
2) further notes that the pledge that was made, which was to donate the same amount in 2008-09, has not been honoured and therefore the school has now been negatively affected with regard to their planned actions; and
3) requests the Minister of Arts and Culture to investigate as to why, after several requests, only one half has been paid, and to report to the Council on the outcome.]
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
