Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Natives Land Act has brought untold hardship and deprivation to millions of black South Africans;
2) further notes that effects of this racist legislation are still felt after 100 years and it is a sad part of South Africa's divided colonialist and apartheid history;
3) calls upon all South Africans to:
a) recognise the shameful legacy of deprivation and poverty that resulted from the 1913 Natives Land Act;
b) engage in redressing the legacy of this Act;
c) do everything possible in this process to assist to ensure that its consequences are properly addressed; d) promote reconciliation between all the people of South Africa; and e) ensure that the land reform process is transparent, is free from endemic corruption and is sustainable for the benefit of future generations.
