Mr Speaker, I continue:
(2) recalls that Anene tragically passed away on 2 February 2013 after being raped, severely beaten and disembowelled at a construction site in Bredasdorp;
3) further notes that this case infuriated South Africans and shocked the international community;
4) recognises that the conviction of Johannes Kana is a major victory for our criminal justice system and a big step forward in the fight against the rape and murder of women and children in our country;
5) further recognises that sentencing was scheduled to take place yesterday, 30 October 2013, but has been postponed until tomorrow, 1 November 2013;
6) conveys its support and sympathy to the Booysen family and trusts that the conviction provides some sense of closure; and
7) calls on all South Africans to work together in order to prevent sickening crimes like these from ever occuring in our society again.
Agreed to.
