House Chairperson, I hereby give notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the gentlemen's nude strip club and escort service, Mavericks, has put up huge billboards both on Table Bay Boulevard and in Tamboerskloof ...
[Interjections.]
Is that notice of a motion or a motion without notice?
Chairperson, it is a motion without notice.
Then you are correct.
... opposite a school and a children's park, featuring a half-naked woman in a sexually suggestive pose, with the slogan, "I was working late";
2) further notes that these billboards not only promote adultery and stereotype women as sex objects that exist primarily for the sexual gratification of men, but also promote gender violence;
3) notes that although these billboards are illegal in terms of the by- law on outdoor advertising of the City of Cape Town, the City of Cape Town remains silent on the board opposite the school and fails to take appropriate action to remove the boards;
4) expresses its shock and utter dismay at the recklessness of the DA- led City of Cape Town not to take down these billboards and ensure that those who put it up are made to face the penalties outlined in the by-laws of the city; and
5) calls on the mayor of the City of Cape Town, Patricia de Lille, to ensure that these boards are removed immediately and that a proper investigation is launched to check why it took the City of Cape Town so long to remove these billboards that are in clear breach of the by-laws of the city and display sexist stereotypes that are in violation of the Constitution of South Africa and the dignity of all women in South Africa.
The motion is not agreed to. The motion without notice will become a notice of motion.
