Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the callous and blatant acts of public violence displayed by disgruntled members of the flagging Congress of the People as they threw chairs and exchanged blows after a lengthy disagreement over the credentials during the party's Gauteng provincial congress in Vereeniging;
2) further notes that five people sustained various degrees of injuries and senior party members were forced to flee through the windows of the Assemblies of God hall, as party members engaged in a rat-chasing exercise of the current party leader Mbhazima Shilowa who was booed off the podium when he tried to address delegates; and
3) acknowledges that these are some of the last kicks of the party, as it battles rowdy and disgruntled political cowboys that left the ANC for selfish political gain.
