Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House, I shall move:
That the Council- 1) notes the following -
(a) it would appear that the hon Mr Douglas Gibson from the DA is contemplating changing his occupation, albeit late in his life, from a malicious politician to a questionable estate agent;
(b) the childish venture of leading an army of journalists to the site of what will be a retirement home for our President and the First Lady is a sad reflection of a seasoned politician; and
(c) the mentality of our voters cannot be undermined by such an infantile charade of public office bearers, whose conduct undermines the credibility of prestigious institutions, such as Parliament; and
2) resolves -
(a) that Parliament institute procedures to prevent such malicious practices in future; and
(b) that Mr Gibson appears before Parliament to explain such malice.
Thank you. [Interjections.]
Your motion will be printed in full on the next Order Paper.
Mr N J Mack: Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House, I shall move:
That the Council-
(1) notes with shock the opportunistic manner in which the DA has conducted itself in calling for the ANC to disclose moneys allegedly given by the late Brett Kebble and branding the party suspect to corrupt practices, whilst they themselves surreptitiously received huge sums of money from Kebble;
(2) further notes that the ANC expresses serious concerns about the double standards applied by the DA and further wants to make it known that the sudden admission on the part of the DA has nothing to do with issues of transparency, but rather with sheer desperation;
(3) also notes that this sudden admission is concrete evidence that the DA planned to score political points, and that this process has demonstrated that the DA is not a credible opposition party worthy of public trust; and
(4) therefore acknowledges that the ANC wishes to reiterate its position on the protection of the rights of private persons' donations and its support for clean governance and the fight against corruption.
Thank you. [Interjections.]
Your motion will be printed in full on the next Order Paper.
