Hon Chairperson, motion without notice, on behalf of the ANC I hereby move:
That the Council -
1) notes with profound appreciation that on the 20th August marks 36 Anniversary of the birth of the giant United Democratic Front of our revolution;
2) further notes the laws of the United Democratic Front in 1983 in Rocklands Western Cape wrote about a new chapter in the history of the National Democratic struggle opposing the racist tricameral parliamentary system which was introduced by the apartheid regime in 1983;
3) acknowledges that under the leadership of Mama Albertina Sisulu, Archie Gumede and Oscar Mpetha as the first UDF honorary presidents, and Dr Allan Boesak, its patron, the UDF mobilised communities and sectors across the length and breadth of our country towards heroic battles against the evils of apartheid and ensure that the hegemony and the popularity of the ANC remained entrenched in communities;
4) therefore salutes the UDF for the struggles it wedged and co- ordinated for us to be a free country; and
5) calls upon the people, who love our nation, especially young people to keep the legacy of the UDF alive by collectively fighting the ills that engulfed our society.
I so move.
