Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) debates the threats made by the SACP to Premier Modiselle and her government that the SACP would immediately withdraw its members from that government and take other action if the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, namely Grace Bothman, was not immediately reinstated; 2) notes that the alliance has indeed reached a breaking point, making it impossible for the present ANC administration to govern with authority and integrity; and
3) calls on government to resist being openly blackmailed in this way as any weakness on its part in this regard will render South Africa totally ungovernable.
