I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the DA has lost yet another expensive court case at the expense of the taxpayers, following its illegal and unlawful dissolution of the municipal council of the Overberg District Municipality, despite warnings by the ANC not to proceed with such unlawful intervention, and also despite the ANC having advised on the correct procedures to be followed under the circumstances;
2) further notes that, despite a Cape Town High Court ruling against Premier Zille and her DA government with costs, Premier Helen Zille, MEC Bredell and the DA government refused to accept and abide by the ruling of the Cape High Court regarding their illegal dissolution of the Overberg District Municipality;
3) recognises that the Supreme Court of Appeal, however, last week rejected Premier Zille and the DA's appeal with costs and confirmed the finding of the Cape High Court that the decision of Premier Zille and her cabinet offended the principle of legality because it directly resulted from them misconstruing their powers; and
4) takes this opportunity to condemn Premier Zille and her DA government's unlawful and contemptuous actions, which were clearly driven by their lust for power and with the aim to steal power in the Overberg District Municipality.
There being on objection, the motion without notice became a notice of motion.
