Hon Chairperson, on behalf of the DA, I hereby move the following motion without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes with deep concern -
(a) the violent disruption of a DA meeting in Gugulethu on Monday, 25 May 2010, allegedly by members of the ANC;
(b) the alleged participation of an ANC councillor in the destruction of DA property;
(c) the alleged presence of ANC councillors and an ANC MPL at the scene of this violence, who made no attempt to control the violent actions of persons who are allegedly members of the ANC; and
(d) the serious threat that these actions, allegedly on the part of the members of the ANC, have for constitutional democracy in South Africa and for free and fair elections in particular;
(2) therefore calls upon the ANC to take immediate steps to ensure that its members and others stop all forms of violence and, in particular, violence aimed at the DA and other political parties which oppose the ANC; and
(3) in addition, calls upon the SAPS to arrest and charge those persons who were involved in the acts of violence against the members and property of the DA on 25 May 2010.
