Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) takes note of the unacceptable situation in respect of the overpopulation of the Pollsmoor Prison and other prisons in our country; and
(2) requests the Minister of Correctional Services during the debate on the Budget Vote for Correctional Services in this Council on 8 June 2000 to furnish the Council with a report -
(a) giving details of the position in respect of the overpopulation of the prisons in all nine provinces; (b) giving details of his department's plans of action, if any, including timeframes, to address the problem of overpopulation in our prisons;
(c) giving details of what it will cost to address the aforesaid situation effectively; and
(d) indicating whether there is sufficient provision in the current budget for Correctional Services to address the problem of overpopulation in our prisons.
Order! Is there any objection to that motion? Yes, there is an objection. The motion will therefore become a notice of motion.
