Voorsitter, ek stel sonder kennisgewing voor:
Dat die Raad kennis neem dat -
1) 'n spesiale atletiek-vergadering deur atletiek Sentraal-Gauteng gehou was om vas te stel wie die bestuur van Sentraal-Gauteng toestemming gegee het om mnr Chuene, president van ASA, te steun in verband met sy optrede en leuens oor die Caster Semenya saga; 2) dit 'n baie goeie stap is deur atlete om die grondwet van ASA te beskerm en die belange van ASA te beskerm;
3) die belange en waardes van atlete eerste gestel word bo politieke belange;
4) Geraldine Pillay en haar mede organiseerders se optrede en standpunt oor hierdie hantering deur mnr Chuene van die Semenya saga prysenswaardig is en waardeer word; en
5) die ontwrigting van hierdie spesiale atletiek-vergadering 'n skreiende onreg en verontagsaming van die Grondwet van Suid-Afrika is en geensins aanvaar word nie. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[Mr M J R DE VILLIERS: Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council notes that -
1) a special athletics assembly was held by Central Gauteng Athletics to establish who granted permission to Central Gauteng's management to support Mr Chuene, President of ASA, in respect of his actions and lies with regard to the Caster Semenya saga;
2) this is a very good step by the athletes in protecting the constitution of ASA and its interests;
3) the interests and values of athletes are being put ahead of political interests;
4) the actions and standpoint of Geraldine Pillay and her co- organisers regarding Mr Chuene's handling of the Semenya saga are laudable and appreciated; and
(5) the disruption of this special meeting is a flagrant injustice and amounts to disregard for the Constitution of South Africa and can in no way be condoned.]
Is there any objection to the motion? [Interjections.] Are you objecting, hon member? Yes, there is an objection to the motion. In light of the objection, the motion may not be proceeded with. The motion without notice will now become a notice of motion.
