Chairperson, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the NCOP I shall move on behalf of the ID:
That the Council -
1) notes that the hon Minister for Provincial and Local Government made known on national television the decision to reincorporate Khutsong into Gauteng province;
2) further notes that it is not easy to admit a mistake in the face of opposition and to rectify it; 3) commends the decision taken, which shows that the community is now taken into account, after much uproar and running around in the streets of Khutsong, to have their voice heard;
4) marks the timing of the decision, nearer to the time of the national elections, in the face of the threat by the community of Khutsong that they would not vote.
