Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes that -
(a) the ANC won 10 out of 11 by-elections, which were held on Wednesday, 10 November 2010, throughout the country;
(b) in terms of Fifa standards, the score is 10-1 against all the other parties put together; and
(c) it is put on record that three wards in Mpumalanga were not contested, including by the party of the hon Watson of the DA;
(2) further notes that the by-election results are a clear indication of the trust that the people of South Africa still have in the ANC and their belief that only the ANC is able to address the legacy of the long years of apartheid's separate development and the challenges that they are facing; and
(3) takes this opportunity to congratulate the elected councillors and calls on them to work tirelessly to advance the needs of their constituencies.
Shapa ANC, shapa! [Beat them, ANC, beat them!]
I so move.
Is there any objection to the motion? In light of the objection, the motion may not be proceeded with. The motion without notice will now become a notice of motion.
