Chair, I move without notice:
That the House-
1) notes with sadness the passing away of four people, two of them children, in the Dube Village, Thembalethu, George, on Wednesday 16 October 2019, after all four were electrocuted as a result of illegal electrical connections;
2) further notes that a three-year-old girl had touched a wire running from a homemade electricity distribution box, which was put together in an illegal and unsafe way;
3) encourages the executive and all state-owned enterprises, SOEs, involved to develop and implement preventative mechanisms to ensure that our children and residents in informal settlements are kept safe, and to hold accountable, those who connect electricity illegally.
Agreed to.
