Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that two Free State farmers appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Monday, 10 May 2010 after a man hunting with dogs on their farm was killed with one of his dogs and three of his friends kidnapped and badly assaulted at Dikatso near Sannaspos in the Free State province;
2) further notes that the two men face a charge of murder, three of attempted murder, malicious damage to property, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, kidnapping and the illegal pointing of a firearm;
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the strongest possible terms the continued disregard of the lives of black farmworkers and dwellers by farmers in the Free State; and
4) calls on the police and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development to ensure that the perpetrators of these colossal crimes receive the full might of the law.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
