I move without notice on behalf of the DA:
That the House-
1) notes that the George Municipality has made a significant investment to boost its fire-fighting and disaster relief capabilities with the acquisition of a large water tanker and portable dam;
2) also notes that the water tanker, which has a whopping 35 000 litre capacity, will be used as a movable water source from where all kinds of fire vehicles can refill;
3) recognises that the 14 000 litre portable dam is only one of three in the country and a first for a local municipality;
4) also recognises that the R2,4 million spent on the acquisition of this new and one of a kind fire-fighting disaster and relief equipment will go a long way towards saving lives and securing the property of the people of George and its surrounds; and
5) commends George Municipality for prioritising the safety of its residents and their possessions. [Applause.]
Agreed to.
