House Chair, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that yet another police officer was murdered in Delft on Sunday, 8 September 2019;
2) further notes that two other police officers, Jan Nieuwenhuys, 49, had 25 years of service and was due to retire at the end of the year and officer Simtembile Nyangiwe, 43, was a father of three children with the youngest being only 11 months old, were murdered in Philippi on Wednesday;
3) understands that last year, 27 more names were added to the number of killed police officers;
4) extends its condolences to the bereaved families;
5) calls for the attack on police officers to be prioritised as it is tantamount to treason; and
6) considers legislative amendments to ensure that those found guilty receive maximum sentencing.
Agreed to.
