I move without notice:
That the House -
1) acknowledges the unified voice and will of the South African people and people in 46 cities around the world who, on 15 March 2014, will petition the South African government to ban the practice of canned lion hunting;
2) agrees that trophy hunting, which has been accurately described by the Kenyan democratic government as a barbaric relict of colonialism, is incorrect;
3) deplores the manner in which the king of apex predators in Africa has been reduced to a wall-hanging souvenir for foreign pseudo hunters;
4) believes that African wildlife and in particular our lion, rhino and elephant deserve the highest and most stringent measures of protection; and
5) implores government to immediately amend our laws to give effect to such measures.
If there are no objections, I put the motion. No objections, agreed to. Is there an objection?
The hon Van der Merwe knows that on such matters we consult each other, but now he springs the matter on us and we do not allow it.
Speaker, we sent this motion to all parties.
Hon members, I really do not want us to debate this. The Chief Whips should meet after this. But for now, are there any objections to the motion? There is an objection. It cannot go through, unfortunately. We then move on; are there any other motions? Right at the back, sir.
