Deputy Chairperson, I hereby give notice on behalf of the DA that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that -
a) European Union donor funding of E850 million was made available in previous financial years since 2005 for economic development and similar programmes, of which tourism development and upgrading programmes formed part;
b) these funds have been managed by Treasury through a project called Thina Sinakho, with an office in each of the nine provinces;
c) all parliamentary questions, further queries and contact directly with the officials responsible in Treasury for the Thina Sinakho fund or those managing donor funding have not delivered any results;
2) requests that -
a) the annual report for the Thina Sinakho fund for the Eastern Cape province be submitted to this House;
b) the Eastern Cape provincial treasury provides a quarterly report on the spending pattern of the Thina Sinakho fund to this House; and
c) any other province that also has a similar programme or fund must submit the same as above.
