Hon Deputy 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) debates the delayed action by the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Zweli Mkhize, to sort out his provincial government which has failed the poor for too long;
2) debates the premier's admission that KwaZulu-Natal's human settlements and public works MEC Maggie Govender and agriculture and rural development MEC Lydia Johnson have failed to deliver basic services to the poor;
3) notes that the axed Maggie Govender had failed to "provide houses to desperately poor and needy people" and resulted in KwaZulu-Natal losing R200 million in housing grants;
4) acknowledges the unacceptability of Govender and Johnson continuing to be members of the legislature; and 5) debates the urgent need for government to tackle political appointments head-on and to ensure that skilled and willing people are employed in the provinces.
