Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter dismay the shocking developments that seem to suggest that the slaying of Ms Anni Dewani, the British tourist who was hijacked with her new husband Mr Shrien Dewani in Gugulethu last week and later found dead in Khayelitsha, might have been a planned hit;
2) further notes that as the British tabloid The Sun raised serious allegations about the financial position of Mr Dewani and that Mr Dewani refuted the claims and allegations as untrue, the chauffeur Mr Zola Robert Tongo has since been charged with murder and intends to turn state witness and enter into a plea bargain with the state;
3) takes this opportunity to convey its profound condolences to the family of Ms Dewani who was cremated in London last Saturday; and
4) extends its congratulations and profound appreciation to the police for their relentless effort to solve the case, and to the people of Khayelitsha and Gugulethu for assisting the police with solving this repulsive and senseless murder.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
