Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that there is no budget for the maintenance of school hostels in the Eastern Cape and requests that an emergency fund be established to address this problem;
2) acknowledges that children cannot be accommodated in hostels that are not maintained and habitable, namely the hostel of the Daleview Primary School in Steytlerville; and
3) calls for an urgent investigation to determine why the provincial Department of Education does not make provision for the maintenance of school hostels.
Chairperson, I object to the motion.
In the light of the objection the motion cannot be proceeded with. The motion without notice will now become a notice of motion and will be printed in the next Order Paper.
Hon Tau, the time is over for motions without notice, unfortunately. I hope you understand that we have to proceed. Thank you.
