Voorsitter, ek sal by die volgende sitting namens die DA voorstel: Dat die Raad -
1) daarvan kennis neem dat die DA die optrede en standpunt van Minister Trevor Manuel ondersteun dat Jimmy Manyi 'n rassis is deur uitlatings te maak dat daar "te veel" kleurlinge in die Wes-Kaap is;
(2) verder kennis neem dat Jimmy Manyi se uitlatings teenstrydig is met die Grondwet van Suid-Afrika, wat mense se reg tot verblyf en assosiasie beskerm;
(3) erken dat niemand in Suid-Afrika verskoning hoef te maak vir watter ras of affiliasie hy of sy verkies om te wees nie; en
(4) verder erken dat die ondersteuning van die ANC aan Jimmy Manyi getuig dat die ANC onsimpatiek en ongevoelig is teenoor "kleurlinge" en
(5) vra of ons die ANC kan vertrou met die belange van rasseverskille in ons mooi land, Suid-Afrika. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[Mr M J R DE VILLIERS: Chairperson, on behalf of the DA, I hereby give notice that at the next sitting I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that the DA supports the actions and point of view of Minister Trevor Manuel that Jimmy Manyi is a racist for stating that there are "too many" coloureds in the Western Cape;
(2) further notes that Jimmy Manyi's remarks are contrary to the Constition of South Africa which protects people's right to residence and association;
(3) acknowledges that nobody in South Africa has to make excuses for his or her race or choice of affiliation;
(4) further acknowledges that the ANC's support for Jimmy Manyi bears testimony to the fact that the ANC is unsympathetic and insensitive towards "coloured" people; and
(5) asks whether the ANC can be trusted with matters regarding racial diversity in our beautiful country South Africa.]
