I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with serious shock and disappointment the torching of Isizinda Secondary School in Mariannhill, near Pinetown on Tuesday, 24 May 2011;
2) further notes that the school was burnt down by learners because of a lack of teaching materials and furniture in their school;
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms such blatant disregard for public property and misguided violence by the learners; and
4) calls on the provincial department of basic education in KwaZulu- Natal to immediately send a delegation to investigate the unacceptable conduct of the learners and ensure that those responsible for this act bear the consequences for their foolish act.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
