Thank you, hon Chairperson. My name is Bev Abrahams from Gauteng, the beautiful province. [Laughter.] I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Indian community arrived in South Africa on 16 November 1860, 150 years ago;
2) further notes that they were employed on the Natal Estate sugar farms as labourers;
3) acknowledges that Mahatma Gandhi was one of the first Indians that travelled on a "whites only" train and was forcefully removed by the apartheid government; and
4) realises that we should never let that be allowed again in South Africa. Long live the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi!
