Chairperson, I give notice that I shall move at the next sitting of the Council:
That the Council -
1) notes with utter contempt the horrendous accident involving the family of a Tshwane metro police officer, Mr Chris Fourie, his wife Jenny Fourie, and their three children who were badly injured when their car was hit at high speed by another car suspected to have raced through a red robot while taking part in drag racing, which is a common and notorious occurrence every Sunday in many parts of our cities and public roads;
2) takes this opportunity to condemn in the harshest possible terms such disregard for the safety of our communities by heartless and irresponsible mavericks; and
3) calls on all metro police and traffic departments across South Africa to wage a war against drag racers who continuously hold our communities at ransom and subject them to the deadliest dangers of their selfish and reckless antics that are nothing but a show of disrespect for our laws and the constitutionally enshrined rights of our communities.
