Chair, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter dismay the assault on two teachers by a senior traffic officer in Mpumalanga's Nkomazi Municipality after the teachers went to his home to inform him about his Grade 9 son's truancy and failure to submit school work, and the utter disrespect of teachers at the Hanyane Secondary School in Magudu Village in the Nkomazi Region;
2) further notes that despite the fact that the teachers have reported a case of assault against the rogue and violent traffic officer, he is yet to be arrested and is still undertaking his duties in the municipality;
3) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms the assault on the teachers and the blatant disregard of the seriousness of the case against the traffic officer; and
4) calls on the MECs for safety and local government to ensure that the traffic officer faces the consequences of his utter disregard for the public duty and rights of the teachers and that he is put behind bars and suspended from public duty.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
