Chairperson, I give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of the IFP:
That the Council -
1) notes with alarm that since the tragic incident where a grade 12 schoolboy from Nic Diederichs Technical High School in Krugersdorp attacked and killed a fellow pupil, three more incidents of violence have been reported in our schools;
(2) further notes that violence in our schools has been occurring for some time now and is out of control;
(3) realises that drastic measures need to be taken to protect our children while they are in school and to ensure that they concentrate on learning; and
(4) calls on all relevant authorities and stakeholders to collectively work together and speedily implement security and other measures that will provide some sort of protection and stop pupils from bringing weapons to school.
