Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that Marthinus Esterhuizen, the caretaker farmer who shot and killed Karoo guitarist Helena Nuwegeld, her husband Hendrik September and their friend Mannetjie John, was sentenced to three life terms in the Beaufort West circuit court yesterday, 8 November 2010; and
2) takes this opportunity to welcome the sentence and hopes that it will send a very strong message to farmers who have no regard for the constitutional rights of farm dwellers and their families.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
