Chairperson, I give notice on behalf of Cope that at the next sitting of the NCOP, I will move:
That the Council -
1) notes the flagrant lack of legal compliance displayed by Gen Bheki Cele in negotiating to lease the Sanlam Middestad Building;
2) further notes the failure of Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu- Nkabinde to keep her solemn promise to hold the lease in abeyance until the investigation had been completed;
3) acknowledges the further wanton failure of the Minister to heed the advice of two legal experts not to approve the lease as it would most likely be set aside in a judicial review; and
4) further acknowledges the moral bankruptcy of the regnant ANC administration not to comply with the law and in fact to actively disregard it as though the law was for everyone else but not for the ANC elite.
