House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House-
1) notes that the Dr Beyers Naude municipal area in the Eastern Cape has been in the grips of one of the worst droughts in recent memory, leading to the drying up of the Nqweba Dam outside Graaff- Reinet;
2) acknowledges that Ms Corene Conradie established the Graaff-Reinet Water Crisis, which reached out to the Gift of the Givers for assistance;
3) recognises that the Gift of the Givers have subsequently drilled eight boreholes at local schools and one at the Midlands Hospital, with eight JoJo tanks per borehole, enabling local residents to collect water;
4) further recognises that the Gift of the Givers established a permanent team in Graaff-Reinet that continues to deliver 25 000 litres of fresh water daily to residents by means of 34 community tanks throughout the town; and
5) conveys its heartfelt thanks to Ali Sablay, Dr Gideon Groenewald and the Gift of the Givers organisation for their role in averting a potential humanitarian crisis in Graaff-Reinet.
I so move. [Applause.]
Hon members, allow me to go back to the first motion because you didn't remind me about this in time, I wonder why. We need to find out if there is an objection to the motion. So, we all forgot. Please accept my apologies.
The first motion was moved by the ANC. Is there any objection? No objection, agreed to. The second motion was moved by the DA. Is there any objection? No objection, agreed to.
Ms N P SONTI Ms S J GRAHAM
