Voorsitter, ek sal by die volgende sitting van die Raad namens die DA voorstel:
Dat die Raad -
1) kennis neem dat die skorsing van Leonard Chuene, voormalige voorsitter van Atletiek Suid-Afrika, verwelkom word;
2) verder kennis neem dat die proses weereens bewys dat ons sportstrukture nie persone wat met leuens en ongerymdhede omgaan in hul besture kan beskerm nie, omdat dit groot nadele nasionaal en internasionaal inhou vir die integriteit van ons sportadministrasie;
3) erken dat, as die berig in Die Burger van 15 Februarie 2011, wat dui dat die ANC pogings aanwend om Leonard Chuene te red en te beskerm waar is, dit beteken dat die ANC nie deur die sportunies van Suid- Afrika vertrou kan word nie en dat dit politieke inmenging in sportadministrasie sal wees; en
4) ook kennis neem dat die DA versoek dat die planne laat vaar word en sport in Suid-Afrika toegelaat word om hul eie sake te rel, vry van politieke inmenging. (Translation of Afrikaans notice of motion follows.)
[Mr M J R DE VILLIERS: Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) notes that the suspension of Leonard Chuene, former Chairperson of Athletics South Africa is welcomed;
2) notes that the process has once again proven that our sports structures cannot protect persons who run their management with lies and anomalies, because that holds great disadvantages nationally and internationally for the integrity of our sports administration;
3) acknowledges that if there is any truth in the report in Die Burger of 15 February 2011, which indicates that the ANC is attempting to rescue and protect Leonard Chuene, it means that the ANC cannot be trusted by the sports unions of South Africa and that this would amount to political interference in sports administration; and
4) requests that such plans be abandoned and that sport in South Africa be allowed to manage its own business, free from political interference.]
