Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) expresses its doubts at the rumour gaining currency that one Mr Satan, a notorious underworld operator, recently elevated to celebrity status by a former cricket captain alleging that Mr Satan had diverted his eyes from the ball, has had anything sinister to do with a series of losses suffered by South African sportsmen and -women in recent weeks, namely -
(a) the Bafana Bafana soccer team losing to Uncle Sam 4-1;
(b) top South African women's tennis player Amanda Coetzer who lost to the relatively unknown Rosana des Rios of Paraguay at Roland Garros;
(c) top South African golfer Ernie Els who has performed poorly in recent tournaments; and
(d) South Africa's boxing idol Baby Jake Madtlala, also losing two recent bouts; and
(2) notes that a spokesman from the office of Mr Satan, alias the Evil Eye-Diverter, is adamant that his master has recently been to the Asian continent visiting his junior directors in the match-fixing fraternity, and denies vehemently that he had anything to do with the break-up of domestic bliss in the household of the very same pastor who had received the confessions of the above-mentioned cricket captain.
[Interjections.]
Order! Mr Raju, do you seriously wish the House to adopt this motion? [Laughter.] Is there any objection to the motion?
Yes, Chairperson.
Order! Mr Matthee objects. The motion will therefore become a notice of motion.
