I move without notice on behalf of the EFF:
That the House-
1) notes that the majority of municipalities are facing a financial crisis;
2) acknowledges that municipalities like J S Moroka, Emakhazeni and Emalahleni local municipalities are struggling to deliver basic services because they are owed monies by provincial and national governments and public entities for services rendered;
3) recognises that municipalities are important because they are closer to the people;
4) also recognises that municipalities are not paid what is due to them;
5) also acknowledges that if they are not paid what is due to them, they can't pay money they owe, including to Eskom;
6) calls on the Portfolio Committee on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs to provide a special report on repayments of monies owed to municipalities by provincial and national governments and government entities. [Applause.]
There being an objection, the motion without notice will be converted to a notice of motion.
