Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with sadness the death of 12 patients who died when a patient minibus carrying 27 patients overturned on a road between Koopmansfontein and Delportshoop in the Northern Cape;
2) further notes that the horrific incident happened in the early hours of the morning on 5 February 2008, when the driver lost control of the patient minibus and it overturned and rolled several times; and
3) takes this opportunity to convey its heartfelt and deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and all the people of the Northern Cape for this immense and horrendous loss of human lives.
May God be with them and we wish them strength in this trying and difficult moment.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
