Thank you very much, hon Deputy Chairperson. I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes that a 72-year-old man who was caught raping a four-year- old girl last Sunday in Sigingqini, Peddie, in the Eastern Cape province appeared in the Peddie Magistrate's Court today;
(2) further notes that the man was seen leading the child into his home by a neighbour who ran to alert the child's parents; and
(3) takes this opportunity to condemn this incident in the harshest possible terms and congratulates the neighbour for her vigilance and willingness to break the silence about child abuse.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
