Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House-
1) notes that the Midvaal Local Municipality was recently awarded its 6th successive clean audit by the Auditor-General of South Africa;
2) further notes that the municipality continues to punch above its weight by attracting significant investments in its economy from local and international companies, including Heineken, Ferrero Rocher, Paramount Trailers, New Hope, BSI Steel and Twin Boats;
3) acknowledges that, as a result of the municipality's ability to cut red tape, simplify procedures and by-laws to make it easier to do business and invest within the boundaries of the municipality, Sedibeng Brewery made a further R3,5 billion investment in the municipality, resulting in the creation of 3500 construction jobs and 32 local farmers being supported on a regular basis;
4) further acknowledges the role that the municipality's committed personnel and its senior management's willingness to go the extra mile, played in delivering another clean audit;
5) commends Mayor Bongani Baloyi and the municipality's personnel for their commitment to good governance and service delivery to the residents of Midvaal; and
6) congratulates the municipality on achieving its 6th successive clean audit.
I so move. [Applause.]
Agreed to.
Mr K CEZA
