Madam Deputy Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) notes that the contract benefiting suspended ANC Youth League president Julius Malema cannot be cancelled because it would have serious legal implications, and the Public Protector's spokesperson Kgalalelo Masibi said on Wednesday: "There could be possible unintended consequences by suspending in its entirety ... It is a binding agreement";
2) also notes that the contract has already been running for two years;
3) further notes that Public Protector Thuli Madonsela met with the Limpopo roads and transport department on Wednesday and one portion of the contract was suspended: "Both parties agreed to suspend one aspect of the contract, that is, the participation of On-Point in the bid evaluation committee until the investigation is concluded," her office said in a statement;
4) notes that On-Point Engineering is partly owned by Malema's family trust; and
5) acknowledges that Ms Madonsela is probing claims that the Limpopo government awarded irregular tenders to On-Point Engineering, which benefited Malema.
