Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that Tuesday, 22 March, was World Water Day, which is intended to raise public awareness about the need to preserve and save water;
2) further notes that the theme of this year's World Water Day is "Water for Cities: Responding to the Urban Challenge", which seeks to address the huge demands on water supply and sanitation facing many cities across the world and the need for governments to initiate appropriate interventions to respond to rising water demands in cities;
3) recognises that South Africa is one of the progressive countries that recognises the interminable link between the right to water and sanitation and that the right to water is the cornerstone to respecting the dignity of the people of South Africa; and
4) acknowledges that building open toilets and cutting water supply to communities and households by serving people with pink letters, as done by the DA-led City of Cape Town, is a violation of the right of our people to water and sanitation and a deliberate attack on their dignity.
There being an objection, the motion without notice became a notice of motion.
