Chairperson, I give notice that I shall move at the next sitting of the Council:
That the Council -
1) notes that in its efforts to enrich and reward its officials disguised as consultants through the looting of state resources in the municipalities that it controls, the Democratic Alliance spends millions of rand on consultants that are proving useless or do less than half of the work they are hired to do;
2) further notes that in the City of Cape Town, the former chief consultant who was fired for misprojection and miscalculation of the costs of the Bus Rapid Transit System, costing the city billions of rands, was later given a handshake of R3 million, and has since been replaced with another consultant, paid far more than the municipal manager; and
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms this repulsive looting of state resources, especially at a time when the city builds open toilets and neglects the provision of basic necessities to the communities in the townships.
I so move.
