Chairperson, on the next sitting day of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Shikota express has derailed and is possibly on the verge of grinding to a halt as the disgruntled party battles to choose who among the three leaders should drive the derailed train;
2) further notes the serious allegations levelled by the embattled leader of Cope, Mosiuoa Lekota, who publicly accused one of the fellow leaders, Mbhazima Shilowa, of mismanaging a R20 million party account and failing to produce party audited statements for more than a year; and
3) calls on Parliament and the Secretary to Parliament to immediately institute a formal inquiry into the allegations of abuse of public funds and a possible case of fraud against the hon M Shilowa for seeking to mislead Parliament and the public by backdating the appointment letter of Anton Louw auditors to June 2009 when in fact they were appointed on 8 March 2010.
