I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) notes that the recent report of National Treasury, which stipulates that R77,6 million is owed to local government across South Africa, is shocking and a picture of the failure in municipalities;
2) further notes that the Act, which stipulates the education, skills and experience requirements for municipal managers and senior officials, was passed more than a year ago and Minister Baloyi missed a number of deadlines to finalise regulations;
(3) notes that as service delivery is failing in ANC-ruled municipalities, so is Minister Baloyi failing in his duty to come with regulations as ruled by law; (4) notes that Minister Baloyi must take the bold step either to present the regulations or to say why he is in breach of the law; and
(5) further notes that the DA requests the House to debate the ignorance by the ANC government to adhere to law.
