Chairperson, I give notice on behalf of the DA that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council - 1) notes that during the Provincial Week from 12 September 2011 to 16 September 2011 it was very clear in the North West province that the delegation of the NCOP were undermined by different role-players in the province;
2) further notes that Salga only sent a delegation of one person to address members of the NCOP, without the chairperson;
3) also notes that of the nine mayors who were supposed to attend the meeting, only three were available and they were more than 20 minutes late, and the Chairperson of the NCOP delegation was forced to cancel the meeting;
4) enquires whether that is the way that Members of Parliament are continually going to be treated by provinces; and
5) requests an investigation into the undermining of the NCOP by different stakeholders in provinces.
