Hon Chair, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes that a senior official of the City of Cape Town, Mansoor Mohamed, will appear before a disciplinary tribunal on 18-21 April for speaking out about the state of poor administration and leadership in the DA-led City of Cape Town, resulting in the overusage of consultancies in almost every department in the City of Cape Town;
2) further notes that Mansoor Mohamed was so astounded by the poor leadership of the City of Cape Town that he wrote a recommendation that the entire mayoral executive committee of the DA go for basic leadership training courses;
3) takes note of the fact that the very tribunal convened to discipline Mansoor Mohamed is chaired by Advocate Ismail Jamie and prosecuted by Gavin Stansfield of Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr who add to the large number of consultants used by the City of Cape Town instead of its legal affairs department; and
4) takes this opportunity to call on the Public Protector to investigate and stop the DA's systematic squandering and abuse of taxpayers' money by employing hundreds of consultants to do work that is supposed to be done by the staff members who have been rendered redundant in a systematic way to siphon off public funds to the supporters of the DA camouflaged as consultants to the City of Cape Town.
