Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes the recent Human Sciences Research Council's survey on the degree of satisfaction with government;
(2) further notes that, while there is an increase in levels of satisfaction with the provincial governments and the political situation in all the other provinces -
(a) the Western Cape is the only province in which most respondents were dissatisfied with their provincial government; and
(b) the Western Cape is the only province in which most respondents were dissatisfied with the general political situation in the province;
(3) is of the opinion that -
(a) the results come as no surprise since the party which received the majority of votes in the province is excluded from the government; and
(b) the results are indicative of the fact that the governing DP/New NP coalition is not reaching out to the poor people, who make up the majority of the people in the province.
