Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council - 1) notes with utter dismay the DA-led City of Cape Town's absolute disregard for the citizens of Cape Town when it granted a permit to a film company to shoot a film earlier this week in Langa without the decency of informing the communities beforehand and in particular that the film crew will be firing blank shots during the night as part of a scene for the movie;
2) further notes that as these communities had in the past been subjected to numerous gang violence activities and incidents, the sound of gunshots absolutely scared them to death, resulting in families fleeing or seeking refuge on floors and under beds to avoid becoming victims of the imagined crossfire;
3) acknowledges that this incident once again illustrates the DA's ongoing disregard for poor communities and in particular for upholding human rights and human dignity; and
4) agrees that while economic development and in particular the promotion and strengthening of the film industry as a stimulant for economic growth and job creation should be supported, the Council rejects and condemns with utter dismay the insensitive, irresponsible and inconsiderate behaviour of the City of Cape Town under control of the DA.
There being an objection, the motion without notice became a notice of motion.
