Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with a great sense of loss and shock the brutal murder of former Springbok flanker Solly Tyibilika who was shot and killed in Gugulethu on Saturday, after two men opened fire in a tavern;
2) further notes that Tyibilika grew up in the Eastern Cape and played for the Southern Kings squad that played against the British and Irish Lions during their tour to South Africa in 2009, and that he also played for the Sharks, the Lions and the Springboks, where he was capped eight times;
3) further notes that Tyibilika made his debut for the Springboks in November 2004 in a match against Scotland, which South Africa won 45- 10, and also played in the 2005 Tri-Nations series in a test against the Wallabies at Ellis Park, which the Springboks won 33-20;
4) conveys its condolences to the Tyibilika family and friends on the loss of a young and gifted son whose contribution and commitment to South Africa will forever be engraved in the history of the game of rugby; and
5) calls on the police and anyone with information to ensure that those responsible for the brutal murder of Tyibilika are made to face the full might of the law.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
