Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes with sadness the tragic events that happened at a rugby match in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape, which resulted in the death of a ten-year-old boy, Bevan Joseph, and serious injuries to more than 30 spectators when a stadium wall collapsed on them;
(2) further notes that the tragedy happened as a result of spectators fleeing barbaric scenes of bottle-throwing and stabbing that occurred after the final whistle had blown in the annual rugby match between two local clubs, Gardens and Progress;
(3) calls on the police to intensify their investigation into the events and to deal decisively with the hooligans responsible for the cowardly act;
(4) resolves that acts of violence and hooliganism have no place at our sporting events and in society; and
(5) conveys its heartfelt condolences to Bevan Joseph's family and friends.
Agreed to.
