Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) notes that according to press reports, serious behind-the-scenes lobbying and horse-trading is taking place in the ANC to oust President Zuma as its leader at the next national conference of the organisation;
2) recognises that this plot further destabilises the already volatile political situation in the tripartite alliance; and
3) acknowledges that this tug-of-war for power and faction fighting will pave the way so that an opposition coalition will sooner, rather than later, be in power in the majority of provinces and in South Africa.
[Interjections.] I so move. [Applause.]
