Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that despite the Public Protector having found evidence of maladministration and irregularities in the DA-controlled Midvaal Municipality in Gauteng and a criminal investigation by the Special Investigating Unit, the DA leader, Premier Helen Zille, said that a provincial disciplinary committee of the DA had found no evidence of corruption;
2) further notes that the DA and Ms Zille remain silent on the recent findings of maladministration and irregularities by the Public Protector and fail to take any appropriate action on the basis of such findings;
3) acknowledges that the silence of the DA and its leader on the Public Protector findings on corruption in the DA-controlled Midvaal Municipality demonstrates the double standards of the DA and its leader; and 4) takes this opportunity to call on Premier Zille and the DA to publicly respond to the findings of the Public Protector and outline how they will deal with the serious and damning findings of the Public Protector on the Midvaal Municipality.
