Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the first Saturday of November has been declared National Children's Day by the Government of the Republic of South Africa;
2) further notes that the National Children's Day celebrations are aimed at highlighting the progress that is being made towards the realisation and promotion of the rights of children;
Will the hon members on my right please allow the speaker to be heard.
3) believes that children have rights and responsibilities that are appropriate for their development and therefore such rights need to be promoted and protected; and
4) calls upon all South Africans to celebrate National Children's Day by ensuring children are protected from neglect and abuse and that we report cases of abuse and neglect while we cater for their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential.
Agreed to.
