Hon Chairperson, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I intend moving:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter dismay that, after several denials, the Democratic Alliance has finally confirmed and admitted that the Premier of the Western Cape, Premier Helen Zille, is in fact receiving two salaries as the leader of the party and as the Premier of the Western Cape province;
2) further notes that Premier Zille is being paid nearly R2 million for being the premier and that she has refused to divulge how much she receives from the Democratic Alliance;
3) takes this opportunity to acknowledge and support the sentiments and discontent expressed by the ANC, Cosatu and other opposition parties that the double dipping by Premier Zille is nothing less than an immoral act of greed; and
4) condemns in the harshest possible terms the refusal of the Democratic Alliance to disclose how much it pays Premier Helen Zille and calls on the Public Protector and the SA Human Rights Commission to investigate the conduct of Premier Zille and her party for the immoral double dipping.
