Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House - 1) notes that since the beginning of 2011, 279 rhinos have been killed by poachers in South Africa;
2) further notes that at this trajectory the total number of rhinos poached in South Africa this year will exceed the already alarmingly high figure of 333 rhinos killed by poachers in 2010;
3) condemns the acts of poaching and all people complicit in these acts;
4) acknowledges the statement by the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs on 30 August 2011 about government's efforts to reduce poaching in South Africa and further acknowledges that the response to poaching is multifaceted;
5) urges the governments of countries to which rhino horns obtained through poaching are being exported to take stronger measures to prevent the import of rhino horns;
6) calls upon the Minister and the MECs for Environment and Conservation to further step up their efforts to curb rhino poaching; and
7) calls upon all South Africans to report to the police any activities that may be linked to the abhorrent practice of rhino poaching.
Agreed to.
