Chairperson, I give notice that I shall move at the next sitting of the Council:
That the Council -
1) notes the unacceptable manner in which the ANC supporters and MECs in the Northern Province are positioning themselves with regard to the detention of MEC John Block;
2) further notes the urgent necessity to stamp out the belief that there is one law for the elite in government and another law for the rest of us;
3) acknowledges the undesirable meting out of one form of treatment for Mr Block and another for other detainees considering that the law must not only have equal application, but must be seen by all to have equal application; and
4) recognises the continuing manifestation that South Africa in 2010 is a regnant democracy, where one party has been in power for too long, and where, as a result people in government have come to believe that they are above the law.
