Chairperson, on behalf of the DA I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that President Jacob Zuma, current President of South Africa, was Deputy President of South Africa from 1999 to 2005 and was axed by the then President, Thabo Mbeki, for reasons linked to the alleged corruption related to the arms deal;
2) further notes that President Jacob Zuma announced the establishment of the commission of inquiry and this is much welcomed by the DA;
3) notes that the President also said that he will make himself available to testify before the commission of inquiry, although the President will have no option but to testify if he is summoned to do so; and
4) acknowledges that this step and decision is long overdue and hopes that all the relevant and true information will come to the fore and those responsible for corruption and mismanagement will be made to account to the nation for their deeds and crime.
