Chairperson, when you are in the Chair, I don't say Deputy Chairperson, for when you are in the Chair, you are chairing as Chairperson. [Applause.][Laughter.]
I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that a written affidavit complaint has been received by the Independent Democrats from a South African mother whose South African daughter, married to a Bangladeshi citizen, was mistreated, neglected, abused and threatened with death should she make contact with her family in South Africa;
2) notes that this South African citizen is pleading for help to come back to South Africa;
3) conveys dismay at foreign male citizens coming to South Africa to use South African women to their advantage and then abusing, neglecting and abandoning them; and
(4) expresses the need for us to address these issues by facilitating discussions and/or debates for more strict legislation on how to protect our South African women against this evil trend.
