    Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:

    That the House-

    1) notes the untimely death of senior state advocate, Addelaid Ann Ferreira-Watt, aged 51, who was shot on her left hip when a weapon - believed to be a shotgun booked in as evidence in a house robbery case - was accidentally discharged in a regional court in Umzimkhulu, KwaZulu-Natal on Monday last week;

    2) understands that she later died in a nearby hospital;

    3) acknowledges the need for proper checks and balances to ensure that exhibits for evidence in our courtrooms, like weapons, are properly disarmed;

    4) calls for a thorough investigation into the incident and that those responsible for the negligence be held accountable; and

    5) extends its deepest condolences to the friends and family of the late senior state advocate, Addelaid Ferreira-Watt.

    Agreed to.
