    Chair, I move without notice:

    That the House-

    1) notes with sadness the death of six people when a minibus taxi veered out of control and plunged hundreds of metres down a steep embankment in the KwaNgcolosi area near Inanda Dam in Hillcrest in Durban on Sunday, 20 October 2019;

    2) further notes that eight more people who had all sustained serious injuries were stabilised on the scene before being transported to various Durban hospitals for the further care they required;

    3) recalls that the minibus taxi carrying 14 people had lost control and rolled down a steep embankment coming to rest approximately 1km below;

    4) acknowledges and thank the paramedics and the SA Police Service that were dispatched to assist in carnage; and

    5) calls upon drivers, especially those operating taxis to be cautious at all times; and

    6) conveys condolences to the families of the deceased and wishes those injured a speedy recovery.

    No, objection, but I just talk for the record. It's Inanda Dam, not Indala Dam. [Interjections.] I think the member said Indala Dam. [Interjections.] It's Inanda Dam. [Interjections.] The HOUSE CHAIRPERSON (Mr M L D Ntombela): Okay, hon member. [Interjections.] Thank you, hon member. [Interjections.] That was just a point of correction. [Interjections.]

    Agreed to.
