Chairperson, on behalf of the DA, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the shortage of LPG gas in South Africa is one of the negative factors which can damage our fragile economy further if not recovered as soon as possible;
2) further notes that LPG gas is not imported from other countries, like oil, and is produced by our own refineries;
3) notes that this shortage of LPG gas will hurt the economy of the hospitality, manufacturing and automotive sectors if not speedily stopped;
4) acknowledges that this situation is very serious and worrisome because it can damage our economy and lead to more poverty and unemployment; and
5) requests those in the manufacturing trade and industry to take special care, decisions and plans to address this issue of LPG gas shortages as soon as possible.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
