House Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter dismay that members of the Inkatha Freedom Party attacked members of the African National Congress, two ward candidates, as they were about to board taxis in Alexandra Township to participate in the SABC-hosted debate at the University of Johannesburg on Sunday, 11 April 2011;
2) further notes that one of the people attacked in this hideous incident is in a critical condition in hospital;
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms such horrific and criminal acts, which undermine the pledge to the Independent Electoral Commission signed by all parties and are a blatant violation of the constitutional right of association of the ANC members; and
4) calls on the police to ensure that the perpetrators of this crime are brought to book.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
