Deputy Chair, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the City of Cape Town has completely removed the controversial open-air toilets in Makhaza, Khayelitsha;
2) further notes that -
a) the residents who were made to use the topless toilets covering themselves with blankets rejected them because they wanted the City of Cape Town to provide them with concrete enclosures because zinc structures often blew away in the wind; and
b) in response to the residents' discontent about the zinc toilets and the subsequent removal of the topless toilets, the Mayor of Cape Town Mr Dan Plato uttered a reckless statement inciting violence when he called on them to toyi-toyi and burn tyres; and
3) takes this opportunity to condemn with utter disgust the racially motivated attack on the dignity of the community by the DA-led City of Cape Town and the reckless statement issued by Mayor Dan Plato.
