Motlatsa modula setulo [Deputy Chairperson]. I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the government has announced an energy-saving plan which seeks to divert households from the use of electricity for cooking and space heating to gas by assisting households to meet the cost of switching from electricity to gas for cooking and developing a scheme offering a free basic supply of gas to poor households;
2) further notes that the plan is also in line with President Jacob Zuma and the African National Congress's declaration to make 2011 a year of job creation by promoting the local manufacturing of gas cylinders to cut the costs of distribution and to create jobs; and
3) welcomes this important initiative and commends the government for such an innovative plan and its compelling and innovative interventions.
There being an objection to the motion, the motion without notice becomes a notice of motion.
