Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) expresses its total shock and rejection of a mother and her husband from North West who allowed her daughters, aged 12 and 16, to be prostituted over the years from 1993 to 1998 for as little as R5;
(2) notes that the husband, who was the stepfather, kept a mattress in his office at his work on which he raped an 8-year-old girl;
(3) commends the Pretoria regional court for sentencing the mother to 39 years and the husband to 50 years;
(4) is of the belief that monsters like these have no place in our communities and that they must rot in jail; and
(5) supports the initiative by the SAPS of declaring war against child abusers in this country.
