Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council-
1) notes that the Minister of Communications, Minister Roy Padayachie, has heeded the call made by President Zuma in his state of the nation address for all government departments and entities to rally their resources towards the creation of jobs for our people by committing to create over 151 000 new jobs in the information and telecommunications sector within the next three to four years;
2) further notes that the jobs will come largely from broadband infrastructure and services, digital television, creative industries such as animation, and the postal sector; and
3) takes this opportunity to congratulate Minister Padayachie and his department for heeding the President's call to move decisively in implementing our government's commitment to creating work opportunities for our people.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
May I remind hon members that we have actually gone beyond the time allocated for motions, but I will take the last two motions, which are from the hon Makgate and hon Groenewald.
