Chair, on behalf of the DA, I would like to move a motion without notice:
That the Council -
1) offers its condolences on the tragic passing away of one of its colleagues and North West representative, Mr O J Tlhagale;
2) remembers that he was a very kind and gentle soul and a real gentleman; and
3) expresses its heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
Order! Is that an objection, hon member?
Deputy Chairperson, it is not an objection; it is just an amendment on behalf of the whole House. We did raise this matter in the multiparty whips meeting and agreed that a motion will be moved. Mr Watson was there on behalf of the DA. So, we just want to put it on record that this motion is on behalf of the whole NCOP. Already, Mr Kolweni was going to do that as a provincial whip of the North West. We are not objecting but amending the motion.
