Hon Deputy Chairperson, I give notice on behalf of Cope that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council - 1) notes the fact that the Congress of the People has registered candidates in all of the nine provinces on time, taking part in its first local government elections;
2) recognises the invaluable contribution by Cope towards defending the South African Constitution and for standing up for all the provisions pertaining to human rights; and
3) therefore congratulates the Congress of the People for overcoming all obstacles and making itself available to the citizens of the country to give hope where hope was lost.
