Opening remarks
The Committee Secretary, Ms Noluthando Skaka welcomed everyone present and outlined that the Committee would be electing its Chairperson. As per Rule 91 of NCOP (National Council of Provinces) the Committee must on its first meeting elect one of its Members as the Chairperson of the Committee. The procedure outlines that the Committee Secretary would call for nominations and a seconder from the floor, if there is one nomination that person would be declared as the Chairperson of the Committee; but if there is more than one nomination, the names of the nominees would be put to a vote by a show of hands. After the end of the vote, a nominee with the majority of votes would be declared as the Chairperson of the Committee. Members can only vote once.
She proceeded to call for the nominations.
Nominations
Mr M Nchabeleng (ANC; Limpopo) was nominated by Ms N Ndongeni (ANC; EC) and seconded by Mr I Ntsube (ANC; FS).
