Chairperson, I give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) notes the implications of the government policy of deploying incompetent and unskilled friends in most of the departments;
2) further notes the serious consequences attached to the politicising of Chapter 9 institutions through cadre deployment, as reported in the Chapter 9 review co-authored by the late Prof Kader Asmal; and
3) acknowledges the need to address the unintended consequences of a provision in our Constitution that enables those with the right political connections to elevate themselves above the law, and in so doing to honour the legacy of Prof Asmal.
