Madam Chair, I give notice that at the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
(1) resolves in respect of Zimbabwe that -
(a) it deplores the flagrant disregard for the rule of law in failing to give effect to a High Court order and in failing to protect people seeking to exercise their fundamental right to peaceful demonstration;
(b) it deplores the manner in which racial tensions are being inflamed and manipulated for political purposes; and (c) it regards these orchestrated disturbances as a setback for regional integration within SADC and further regards such behaviour as an impediment to the African renaissance; and
(2) further resolves to inform the Consul-General of Zimbabwe of this resolution for onward transmission to his government.
Madam Chair, I give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
(1) calls upon the Minister of Defence, with the disbandment of Western Province Command, to consider taking action to preserve the Castle and its valuable cultural heritage and contents, so that it may be protected and preserved in the interests of tourism and our military and cultural history at the Cape;
(2) also calls on the Minister to give consideration to the Castle being made available to be occupied as a Reserve Force garrison base occupied by the five Cape ``traditional'' units - the Cape Field Artillery, the Cape Garrison Artillery, the Cape Town Rifles (Dukes), the Cape Town Highlanders and Regiment Western Province;
(3) notes that the Castle is -
(a) a world-famous example of classic military architecture on which tens of millions have been spent on restoration over the past 10 years;
(b) South Africa's largest military building and functioning installation;
(c) a proclaimed national monument;
(d) the seat of the renowned William Fehr collection of Africana;
(e) the repository of irreplaceable historic and other treasures;
(f) a vital part of our long military heritage linking with most of South African folk histories; and
(g) an important part of South Africa's early social and political history because it was the focus of political and military history for more than 200 years; and
(4) therefore calls on the Minister to act expeditiously before the Castle falls into disrepair and becomes vandalised.
Mevrou die Voorsitter, ek gee hiermee kennis dat ek by die volgende sitting sal voorstel:
Dat die Raad -
(1) kennis neem dat -
(a) geen nuwe toetreders tot die pelagiese bedryf vir die vang van sardyn en ansjovis toegelaat gaan word nie;
(b) daar nie uitvoering gegee word aan die Wet op Lewende Mariene Hulpbronne nie;
(c) die Minister nie die aanbevelings van die advieskomitee op 22 November 1999 aanvaar het nie; en
(d) transformasie nie plaasvind nie en nuwe toetreders nie 'n kans gegun word nie; en
(2) derhalwe 'n beroep op die Minister doen om -
(a) onmiddellik uitstaande pelagiese kwotas van makriel en masbanker toe te ken;
(b) 'n komitee soos voorheen voorgestel deur die Demokratiese Party aan te stel om alle uitstaande kwotas, konsessies en permitte toe te ken; of
(c) die departement onder geregtelike bestuur te plaas. (Translation of Afrikaans notice of motion follows.)
[Mrs A M VERSVELD: Madam Chairperson, I hereby give notice that I shall move at the next sitting:
That the House -
(1) notes that -
(a) no new entrants are going to be allowed into the pelagic industry as regards the catching of pilchards and anchovies;
(b the Marine Living Resources Act is not being implemented;
(c) the Minister has not accepted the recommendations of the advisory committee on 22 November 1999; and

(c) to place the Department under judicial management.]
