Hon Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes with concern the escalating poverty and unemployment in the former apartheid homelands and that these areas are defined by overconcentration of rural poor in our country, majority of whom are women;
2) further notes that the massive underutilised industrial infrastructure in these areas and believing that the only inspiration our can derive from government's commitment to radical socioeconomic transformation is in action; and
3) calls upon the economic cluster Ministries to report to the Council their integrated plans for the recapitalisation of the underutilised industrial infrastructure in line with the Constitution of the Republic. This reporting should include the outline of their plans.
I so move
