Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that -
a) Sister Mary Paule Tacke, an 82-year-old Catholic nun, was hijacked in Mthatha last week, raped and murdered;
b) she devoted years of her life to educating many African children at the Mariazell institute; amongst those the Minister of Basic Education, Dr Angie Motshekga;
c) at the time of her brutal death, she was working with homeless orphans and children without homes in the area of Libode in Mthatha;
d) Sister Mary Paule Tacke is a household name in the history of the education of Africans in this country; and
2) condemns, without reserve, violence against women and, in particular, against defenceless 82-year-old women such as Sister Mary Paule.
Agreed to.
