  • Mrs T P Msane 24 Oct 2019 hansard

    moved without notice on behalf of the EFF:

    That the House:

    1) notes that Mr Ediozi Odi was found guilty of human trafficking charges in the Gauteng High Court;

    2) further notes that he kept three young children, between the ages of 13 and 14 and these girls were forced to work as sex slaves in a brothel in Springs, Ekurhuleni;

    3) recognises that human trafficking is common in our cities and the law enforcement agencies are failing to deal with a problem of human trafficking;

    4) acknowledges that the under-age girls are forced to work as sex workers and there are men that pay for these sex services with these under-age girls, and it is them that must be arrested;

    5) establishes a committee to receive a report on all cases reported against gender-based violence and human trafficking.

    Hon members, the motion which has just been read has not been circulated. It has not been circulated and it therefore will not be put on the platform for the House to decide upon.

    The

    agreement is that motions must be circulated to all political parties. Also, hon House Chairperson, I want to speak to the DA's motion - the previous motion: We object it as the ANC. [Interjections.] We object that motion as the ANC. [Interjections.]

  • House Chairperson (Mr M L D Ntombela) hansard

    Order, hon

    members! I am sure that we are agreed. I am sure the House will be agreed that what the Deputy Chief of the Majority Party has just raised has caused contention in the House. [Interjections.] I therefore would not allow it; it is too late. [Applause.] However, I must also mention that it is discretionary upon me to allow it. So, please don't do that!

    solidarity with the DA, hon House Chairperson, so that is why it went past us. We know they are bruised! [Interjections.]
