Deputy Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the Congress of the People:
That the Council debates -
1) the lack of sensitivity and professionalism displayed by Mr Falaza Mdaka, the executive mayor of Vhembe Municipality, during an imbizo at Tshamulungwi on 11 March 2011;
2) the inappropriateness of the response given by the mayor to a question about the scarcity of water in the area, telling the people that it was not possible for him to strike at a rock with his staff, as Moses did in the Bible, for water to begin gushing out in order to serve the people of Vhembe; and
3) the need for all executive mayors to have an imbizo of their own to discuss the problem of water scarcity in South Africa, and the best way of providing people with water, with the resources and technology available, rather than destroying their hopes of getting water as Mayor Mdaka did in Tshamulungwi.
Thank you.
