Thanks, Deputy Chairperson. I hereby move without notice:
That the Council - 1) notes that Limpopo police are still searching for the body of 12- year-old Mpho Mugwena, who was killed by a crocodile while he was swimming in the Mutshindudi River in Tshivhilwi Village outside Thohoyandou on Saturday afternoon;
2) further notes that although police divers were immediately dispatched to the scene, they could not assist with searching for the body of the boy because they indicated that the river was too dangerous for them because of the presence of crocodiles; and
3) takes this opportunity to convey its profound condolences to the family of Mpho Mugwena for such a tragic incident and calls on the MEC and the Minister of Police to intervene and dispatch equipment and personnel to assist with the search for the boy.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
