Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Moqhaka Municipality has failed time and again to deliver services to the residents of two Free State townships;
2) further notes that the toilet saga is still continuing in these townships despite the promises made earlier this year before the local government elections by Premier Ace Magashule, ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, sports Minister Fikile Mbalula and ANC heavyweight Tony Yengeni;
3) acknowledges the shocking and unbelievable cost of rebuilding or enclosing these open toilets, each costing R6 500;
4) further acknowledges that more shocking and disturbing is the fact that two independent building contractors had quoted R3 500 to build the same structures but the cash-strapped Moqhaka Municipality went for the highest quote; and
5) calls upon the people of South Africa to speak out against corruption.
