Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council - 1) notes that 19 to 23 September is Public Service Week which is an integral part of the Batho Pele Revitilisation Strategy, which seeks to instil and rebuild good ethics, morale and pride in public servants' endeavours to translate the people's contract into reality through the provision of quality services that respond to the needs of the citizens. This year's theme is: Transformative Leadership in Public Administration and Governance: Creating a Better Future for All;
2) furthermore notes that the Minister for Public Service and Administration declared the month of September as Public Service Month, which will cover various strategic programmes across the Public Service;
3) acknowledges that these programmes will endeavour to bring about a renewed inspiration and commitment to deliver sustainable quality services to all South Africans by working together to co-create a better future for all by all our public servants; and
4) congratulates the Minister on this endeavour and thanks the many selfless public servants for their continued commitment to deliver quality services to our people.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
