Hon members, I would like to announce that, following the decision of the Programming Committee meeting, presiding officers were to find out from the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, hon Shiceka, whether he would like to proceed with the two Bills that lapsed during the Third Parliament, namely the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Amendment Bill [B57B - 2008] and the National House of Traditional Leaders Bill [B56B - 2008].
The presiding officers have since received a response from the Minister that he would like the NCOP to revive the Bills. Notwithstanding the announcement this morning that we won't have motions, I would therefore request the Chief Whip to move a motion without notice to revive these two Bills.
