Ke a leboga Mme Motlatsa Modulasetulo, kwa Ga-Rankuwa Ward 32, ... [Thank you, Chairperson, in Ward 32 in Ga-Rankuwa ...]
Madam Deputy Chairperson, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
(1) notes that Arbor Day was celebrated on 1 September 2007 at Ga- Rankuwa, Ward 32, which is my home and my constituency;
(2) also notes that our President, Thabo Mbeki, together with the hon Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry, the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Comrade Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, and Her Worship, the Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, graced the occasion;
(3) further notes that the Mayor informed us during that occasion that in Ga-Rankuwa township there was not a single mkhukhu (shack) or informal settlement, because when they erect a house they also shut down a mkhukhu; and
(4) acknowledges that we are proud to have a township without an informal settlement in the City of Tshwane.
I thank you.
