Chairperson, on behalf of Cope I give notice that I intend moving:
That the House -
1) debates the friendly warning of Dr Pallo Jordan, one of the most respected intellectuals in the ANC, regarding the silly attempt by the government to muzzle the modern media as being "a fool's errand";
2) further debates the warning that the party would be putting itself into a lose-lose situation that would detract from the credibility it had acquired by being in the vanguard for media freedom from the time of Chief Albert Luthuli and Oliver Tambo;
3) acknowledges Dr Jordan's further friendly caution that the Bill would in all likelihood face constitutional challenges and be defeated, which, if it happened, would leave egg on the face of the government.
I thank you.
