Voorsitter, ek gee kennis dat by die volgende sitting van die Raad sal voorstel:
Dat die Raad kennis neem van -
(1) die DA se stewige vertoning tot dusver in die plaaslike algemene verkiesingsveldtog;
(2) die ongekende toenemende ondersteuning vir die DA en die entoesiastiese wyse waarop die leierskap van die DA ontvang word in voorheen sogenaamde ``no-go zones'' dwarsdeur die land;
(3) die totale oorheersing van die DA in die Kaapse Metropool asook die oorweldigende steun wat die DA se burgemeesterskandidaat, mnr Peter Marais, onder alle kiesers in die Wes-Kaap geniet, veral ten opsigte van armoedeverligting en AZT;
(4) die totale chaos wat binne ANC-geledere heers oor die aanwysing van kandidate en die flou vertoning van hierdie party tot dusver in die munisipale algemene verkiesing;
(5) die toenemende afname van kiesersvertroue teenoor die President, asook hulle ontevredenheid oor mnr Mbeki se hantering van landsake en onskynlike opsigtelike afwesigheid uit die RSA; en
(6) die ANC se totale onvermo om 'n beter lewe vir al die mense op grondvlak te skep en hul gebruik van die Palestynse-Israeli- konflik om sekere voordele daaruit te haal wat hoegenaamd niks met Suid-Afrika te doen het nie. (Translation of Afrikaans notice of motion follows.)
[Mr C ACKERMANN: Chairperson, I give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council notes - (1) the DA's strong showing up to now in the local general election campaign;
(2) the unprecedented growing support for the DA and the enthusiastic manner in which the leadership of the DA is received in former so- called "no-go areas" throughout the country;
(3) the overall dominance of the DA in the Cape Metropole, as well as the overwhelming support which the DA's mayoral candidate, Mr Peter Marais, enjoys among all voters in the Western Cape, especially in respect of poverty relief and AZT;
(4) the total chaos within ANC ranks about the nomination of candidates and the poor performance to date of this party in the municipal general election;
(5) the growing decline of voter confidence in the President, as well as their dissatisfaction with Mr Mbeki's handling of matters of state and his seemingly conspicuous absence from the RSA; and
(6) the ANC's total inability to create a better life for all at grassroots level and their use of the Palestine-Israeli conflict in order to extract from it certain benefits which have nothing at all to do with South Africa.]
