Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the ANC:
That the Council -
1) notes the signing of a "peace treaty" in Hanover Park, at which members of the Americans and Mongrels gangs agreed that they would stop violent crime for the sake of their communities;
2) further notes that the "peace treaty" was brokered as a result of the extreme concern and apprehension regarding the escalation of gang violence in the Cape flats, leaving residents and children at the mercy of violent and heartless thugs who have shown an utter disregard for the law to protect their drug territory; and
(3) takes this opportunity to congratulate the two former gangsters who brokered the peace accord and calls on the police to wage a war against gangsters and criminals who have taken over our streets and instilled great fear in our people and pushed them to live behind high walls and barbed-wire fences.
