Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the tremendous growth of the Democratic Alliance and that the DA is likely to gain control of the Nelson Mandela, Tshwane, Johannesburg and eThekwini Metropolitan Councils after 18 May 2011;
2) therefore congratulates the hon Helen Zille, the hon Patricia De Lille and all DA leadership and members for turning South Africa away from the brink of collapse.
There being an objection, the motion without notice became a notice of motion.
