Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on two separate occasions tornados struck the towns of Ficksburg and Duduza in the Free State and Gauteng provinces respectively on Sunday, 2 October 2011;
2) further notes that these acts of nature, which are uncommon for these parts of the world, killed an 8-year-old child and injured over 160 people in Duduza, whilst claiming the life of a 9-year-old child and injuring a further 42 people in Ficksburg;
3) acknowledges that Duduza has been declared a disaster zone by local authorities as the storm disrupted the lives of thousands of people;
4) extends its condolences to not only the families of the deceased, but to all those affected; and
5) calls upon local authorities, community organisations and private entities to assist in any way possible to rebuild the communities.
Agreed to.
