Deputy Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes the apparent ongoing paranoia and allegations by the DA leader, Helen Zille, that her telephone calls are being monitored by the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, despite the fact that the Ministry of State Security has on more than one occasion categorically denied such allegations;
2) further notes that while Ms Zille lays no reasonable or any foundation for her unfounded allegations, her ongoing allegations are nothing less than a smokescreen to hide the internal turmoil, disillusionment and unhappiness within the DA as well as the fact that elements in the DA are continuing to undermine her due to unhappiness over the appointment of her friend and political ally, Patricia De Lille; and
3) takes this opportunity to dismiss with utter contempt such baseless and unfounded allegations as nothing but desperate electioneering.
Thank you.
