Chairperson, on behalf of the ANC, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council - 1) notes that embattled Cope sank into deeper waters yesterday when its president announced the suspension of his deputy president Mbhazima Shilowa, party national organiser Mluleki George and the parliamentary administrator Lolo Mashiane;
2) further notes that in the Western Cape Cope structures are calling for the provincial executive committee under the leadership of Mbulelo Ncedana, which is aligned to the now suspended Cope deputy president, to be disbanded; and
3) takes this opportunity to make a clarion call to all those who left the ANC to come back home where they belong.
[Applause.][Laughter.]
