Chairperson, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes the assurance given by the hon Minister of Labour, the hon Mildred Oliphant, and President Jacob Zuma that the proposed changes to employment equity legislation would not impact on job opportunities for coloured or Indian people;
2) denounces as nothing but a cheap "swart gevaar" strategy the DA- linked trade union Solidarity's claim that the proposed employment equity legislation would lead to a million coloured workers in the Western Cape being replaced with blacks;
(3) acknowledges the ANC's commitment to the creation of a united, nonracial, nonsexist and democratic society;
(4) further acknowledges that Solidarity remained silent when the DA- led City of Cape Town and the Premier of the Western Cape province ordered police to open fire and shoot unarmed citizens of Hout Bay and when the City of Cape Town enacts draconian legislation that makes it illegal for poor communities to use public transport such as trains and taxis to go to clinics and hospitals and even regulates the number of times when dogs should bark; and
(5) takes this opportunity to condemn such blatant hypocrisy of Solidarity and the DA as nothing but a stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism that is intended to resurrect the evil system of segregation by causing false anxiety among our people in the Western Cape.
