Chairperson, I want to move a motion without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that an elderly farmer Mr Dirk Odendaal, who is 80 years old and his wife Mrs Sophia Odendaal, who is 79 years old, were viciously assaulted and robbed on their return home from church to their farm in Verdun, near Bethlehem in the Free Sate province;
2) takes this opportunity to condemn in the strongest possible terms the violent attack on the Odendaals and the utter disregard shown for their age by the perpetrators of this senseless and cruel act; and
3) calls on the police to ensure that the perpetrators of this inhumane and senseless crime are brought to justice.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
