Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I will move on behalf of the IFP:
That the Council -
1) notes with shock and horror that a 15-year-old pupil from Mpumalanga died after being brutally raped and stabbed 66 times;
2) further notes that this gruesome murder has taken place just as we are about to launch the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children;
3) realises that our current efforts at stopping violence against women and children are not good enough as there are still too many incidents of violence against them;
4) acknowledges that we need to intensify our efforts in combating crimes against women and children; and
5) calls upon the relevant authorities to do everything in their power to apprehend the monster who committed this shocking crime as he does not belong in society.
