Hon Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House, I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council notes that -
1) Cope won Ward 4 in a municipal by-election held at the Renosterberg Municipality on 14 October 2009 in which four parties, including the ANC and the DA, were contestants;
2) Councillor John Havenga is the fourth elected Cope local government representative to be elected since the establishment of Cope in South Africa;
3) this is no mean achievement considering the fact that, last year this time, Cope had not been formed; and
4) due regard be given by the ANC government to the serious disgruntlement regarding failed service delivery, inefficient local government, wide-scale ineptitude and indifference by the citizens and taxpayers of South Africa.
