Chairperson, I give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes, with shock, that President Zuma is only now shocked at the conditions under which people live in informal settlements like Sweetwater;
2) notes that members of government are so cocooned in layers of comfort that they are no longer in touch with the reality on the ground;
3) believes that government never meant to honour its promise of either a better life for all or that together they would do better; and
(4) calls on government to put its money where its mouth is and to implement immediate and visible measures to alter the circumstances of people living in informal settlements like Sweetwater.
