I wish to move a notice without motion on behalf of the ANC I hereby move:
That the Council -
1) notes with deep concern that the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse Commission called Outer commissioned analysis that found that traces of E coli in Hamanskraal's water supply in the presently led by the DA in the Tshwane Metro Council;
Chairperson, on a point of order: Is it motions without notice or notices of motion? Which is it that, are we busy with at this moment?
We are busy with the notices of motion. Hon member Dangor is seeking to convey to the House and if there is anything untoward will indicate. Please proceed.
notes -
2) that residents recently embarked on a violent process of the allegation that the water supplied by the city was of a strange colour, smell badly and was contaminated with cholera, that the problems with the water was seemingly as a result of the wastewater treatment plant which is poorly maintained;
3) further notes that the City of Tshwane is unashamedly trampling on the human rights of residents in the area and the provision of dirty and toxic water, resulting in some people being admitted to the hospital for illness allegedly contracted as a result of the water situation;
4) access to clean water is a universal human rights ... [Time expired.]
May be what you should say hon Dangor is that the longer the motion and the way is articulated it sounds as a motion without notice. Can I urge hon members to please pay attention to this matter so that it doesn't recur? For now, why don't we say we will give an opportunity, perhaps to raise the issue later? Is there any other motion?
Chairperson, on behalf of the ANC I hereby give notice that in the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) debates strategies to revitalise and bolster the provincial economies to create jobs and economic opportunities for our people;
2) notes that the recent data shows that an estimated 27,1% of all South Africans are unemployed, which is an increase of 2,8 per cent from 2009; and
3) further notes that despite fluctuating and steady economic growth by provinces in the last ten years, the average economic growth coupled with rising unemployment continues to create unbearable conditions for the socioeconomic advancement of our people.
I have my hand up for a motion, may I proceed.

Agb Voorsitter, by die volgende sitting van die Huis, sal ek namens die DA voorstel dat die Huis die belangrikheid van taalregte en meertaligheid in Suid-Afrika debateer. Ek dank u.
Hon Chairperson, motion without notice, on behalf of the ANC I hereby move:
That the Council -
1) notes with profound appreciation that on the 20th August marks 36 Anniversary of the birth of the giant United Democratic Front of our revolution;
2) further notes the laws of the United Democratic Front in 1983 in Rocklands Western Cape wrote about a new chapter in the history of the National Democratic struggle opposing the racist tricameral parliamentary system which was introduced by the apartheid regime in 1983;
3) acknowledges that under the leadership of Mama Albertina Sisulu, Archie Gumede and Oscar Mpetha as the first UDF honorary presidents, and Dr Allan Boesak, its patron, the UDF mobilised communities and sectors across the length and breadth of our country towards heroic battles against the evils of apartheid and ensure that the hegemony and the popularity of the ANC remained entrenched in communities;
4) therefore salutes the UDF for the struggles it wedged and co- ordinated for us to be a free country; and
5) calls upon the people, who love our nation, especially young people to keep the legacy of the UDF alive by collectively fighting the ills that engulfed our society.
I so move.
Chair, on behalf of the ANC I hereby give a notice that in the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) debates the basic service to communities;
2) notes that since the dawn of democracy in 1994 South Africa has made enormous strides in the delivery of basic services to communities that face exclusion and neglect by the apartheid system; and
3) further notes that the community survey, which was conducted by Statistics SA has shown that 89,8% of households in South Africa use pipe water, 63,4% use flush toilets connected to either public sewerage or local septic system, 63% of the household services receive refuse removal services and 87% of the households have access to electricity.
I so move.
Hon Chair, on a point of order. I don't know, we are confused now because we are having motions without notice and
notices of motion, all mixed up. So, I want to suggest that there should be another training session organised specifically for the ANC members. [Interjections.] It is clear that they don't understand the difference.
No, hon member, I guess what should be happening now is that the responsible persons, the Whips of the political parties and the Chief Whip are noting the problem. Indeed, what we should do is to ensure that there is further training just to ensure clarity on the matter going forward. Hon member, you should be the last one.
