In accordance with Rule 71, I shall first allow provinces the opportunity to make their declarations of vote if they so wish. We shall now proceed to the voting on the question. I shall do this in alphabetical order per province.
Delegation heads must please insert their cards before I call the vote. Please press button number one to confirm your presence. Have you inserted your cards in the first place? Those whose cards are not functioning, can you raise your hands so that the procedural staff can assist you with doing it manually? If your card is not functioning just raise your hand so that you get assistance with manual voting. As I call each province, please press the button that is relevant to your confirmation, abstinence or rejection. Have all provinces voted? If anyone has not done so can you raise your hand? I can see that we all confirm that we have voted. I will, therefore, declare the voting closed and request the procedural staff to assist me with the results.
IN FAVOUR: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, Western Cape.
ABSTAIN: North West.
Motion accordingly agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
