"Absent without leave" means the signed minutes of a meeting held while they were on council neither list them as present nor excuse them, and no similar name appears that day, so misspellings in the minutes don't count against anyone. Each square links to the minutes.

In their words
Every time the chair gave them the floor in a transcribed sitting (1), newest first. The words are the AI transcript of that stretch of the livestream (Argon), so they can include the chair or an interjection; the time link is the place to check.

Uh, let me start by I greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Uh let me acknowledge you, Madam Speaker, the guests in the galleries, all members of the media present, and the uh the fabulous 44, soon to be 100 plus, fellow councilors, and most importantly, the residents of Johannesburg. Madam Speaker, let me also wish the best of luck to our national team, Bafana Bafana,
for their World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and USA. Speaking of the national team, let me also not forget the Glamour Boys, uh the Phefeni Boys, uh Amakhosi.
Abafana bokuthula noxolo.
For the great season, even if we didn't win any trophy, we'll continue to win the heart of the South Africans.
Yinkosi ayipheli umoya.
So, uh their hard work and persistence and perseverance remind me of ActionSA. As you can see, ActionSA is also getting closer and closer to the throne.
Sepedi se re lebelo ga le na motlogapele.
We all know who can deliver the city from its problems. Even the opposition cannot stop shouting his name, Mr. Mashaba. Uh on item four is the financial report, request approval and authorization to enter into the master service level agreement with Standard Bank for providing commercial banking services for the city and its entities for a period not exceeding
3 years. So, as ActionSA, we want the city to continue doing business with the Standard Bank. We we we have noted some of the few key uh uh benefit in this report, which are, first, is the digital transformation which enables the city to implement modern uh digital banking product and services. And number two, is the operational efficiency, enhance data management, improve the revenue collection method, and drive cost savings.
And number three, is the uh security and compliances, uh ensuring all uh bank payment system meet a strict security standard and uh remain fully compliance.
Uh re thabela ho sebetsana le ba African Bank.
