Hon Deputy Chairperson, on behalf of the DA, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) congratulates the municipality of Rustenburg, which suspended 18 employees because of lawlessness and anarchy, and is investigating several others who could be served with letters of suspension;
2) notes that the staff were suspended as a result of last week's protest when some of the public safety staff, in full uniform, allegedly brandishing guns, "stormed into the office" of the executive mayor, Mpho Khunou, and demanded to see him;
3) further notes that they disregarded the mayor's busy schedule and the fact that he had other commitments, deprived members of the community of municipal services, and incited and intimidated other staff; and
4) notes that Mpho Khunou said that the behaviour displayed by some of the staff members was tantamount to ill discipline.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
