Thank you, Deputy Chair. I've just changed my motion, my previous one, to a motion without notice.
Ek stel sonder kennisgewing voor:
Dat die Raad - 1) Sy diepe bekommernis uitspreek oor die treinstaking in Suid- Afrika kennis neem dat dit die land se ekonomie tot R15 miljard kan kos;
2) kennis neem dat Suid-Afrika dit nie kan bekostig nie; en
3) aanvaar dat hoe langer die staking voort duur, hoe ernstiger die gevolge wat dit vir al die burgers in die land sal inhou. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) expresses its concern at the railway strike in South Africa and concedes that it could cost the country's economy up to R15 billion; and
(2) notes that South Africa cannot afford this and accepts that the longer the strike continues, the more serious the consequences will be for all of the country's citizens.]
