Chairperson, I wish to give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I will move:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Weekend Post of 11 September 2010 reported on the front page how one moves up in the ANC ranks;
2) further notes that a particular official at the Nelson Mandela Metro Municipality was involved in the controversy of obtaining 300 golf shirts at R560 each and 300 carry bags at R216 each to a total value of R230 000 for a housing conference in 2004, after which the official was suspended on allegations of corruption, nepotism and bribery and eventually left of his own accord with a golden handshake of an estimated R1 million;
3) also notes that this same official was thereafter appointed as the municipal manager of Sundays River Municipality in 2008, from which he was fired in July 2009 for gross mismanagement and misconduct, but was saved by the ANC regional executive who reinstated him;
4) acknowledges that the Sundays River ratepayers obtained a court order to have him dismissed with charges for his own cost; and
5) notes that this same official is now appointed in the Eastern cape provincial government in a top position in the department of local government to manage Operation Clean Audit 2014 for local government.
This wolf in sheep's clothing has certainly qualified to move up in the ranks of the ANC.
