Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with sadness the effects of a devastating fire that swept through St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape on Sunday, 11 November 2012;
2) further notes that at the time of writing, the fire, which started when a braai set fire to a thatched roof, engulfed more than 100 homes;
3) recognises that all residents in the Royal Wharf area of St Francis Bay, where the fire is believed to have originated, have been evacuated; and
4) extends its condolences to the Kouga Municipality in this time of hardship.
Agreed to.
