Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that one of Cope's self-proclaimed presidents, Mbhazima Shilowa, who not so long ago was elected as president by a faction of Cope, is being tormented by a faction of his party rivalry with court action to recover R72 000 of legal costs incurred during the many court shenanigans between the two self-proclaimed presidents in the party's short life;
2) further notes that Shilowa, who has reportedly been fired from the party and interdicted from claiming co-leadership of Cope, poured scorn on and dismissed the threat that he will lose his house or the contents of his house if he fails to pay up the legal costs relating to the party's controversial and chaotic policy conference in May last year when he was elected president under a tree; and
3) takes this opportunity to appeal to the few remaining members of Cope who still brandish themselves as Cope members and leaders to come back to the ANC where they belong and avoid the petty little squabbles between their two presidents.
