Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that for the first time in the history of the ANC and its alliance - ANC, Cosatu and SACP - many of their members registered with the IEC as independent candidates in the upcoming local government elections;
2) further notes that this clearly shows that there are serious problems and divisions in the alliance, and that members are revolting against their leadership;
3) takes this opportunity to call on all members of the alliance who believe in democracy and justice to join Cope.
THE HOUSE CHAIRPERSON (Mr R J Tau): Hon members, is there any objection to the motion? In the light of the objection, the motion may not be proceeded with. The motion without notice will become a notice of motion.
