Chairperson, hon members in the House, on behalf of Cope I give notice as follows:
That the Council -
1) notes with disgust and disquiet the intemperate outburst of the Deputy Minister of Police, hon Fikile Mbalula, in responding to legitimate and reasoned criticisms raised by a former ANC NEC member and recently retired Minister of Education, Kader Asmal;
2) further notes that the level of political discourse in our country has degenerated to such a considerable extent, thanks to the ANC, that it has become a blight on our politics; and
3) therefore calls on government to immediately restrain its senior members from being mere brawlers lacking in substance, refinement and political tolerance.
