Madam Deputy Speaker, on the strength of your wise ruling and precedent, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move with pride on behalf of the IFP:
That the House -
1) debates the necessary measures which need to be taken to re- establish freedom of speech in this House which has been so grossly, so outrageously and so unashamedly curtailed on this, as on previous occasions, so that we may fulfil our constitutional duty and obligation to have the same freedom of speech in this House that people have outside this House, and so that we can fulfil our duty to voice the concern, the disappointment and the anger of the people of South Africa, rather than being censored every time we dare criticise the executive;
2) deletes from our Rules the obsolete, misinterpreted and misunderstood notion of the need for a substantive motion every time the opposition holds the executive accountable;
3) adopts the original interpretation of the Rules of this Parliament, for that requirement was merely a notice requirement and was never in the constitutional history of South Africa held as a form of censorship as it is now applied in this House ...
[Interjections.]
