Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 22 September 2011 marks World Rhino Day and that this is the second time that this day is being commemorated; 2) further notes, with shock and concern, that approximately 300 rhinos have been killed by poachers to date in 2011;
3) condemns the cowardly act of rhino poaching;
4) commends the work of all South Africans, both in civil society and in government, who are involved in efforts to protect our rhino population from poachers;
5) recognises that poaching is often conducted by well-armed international criminal syndicates, which makes the work of the brave men and women who defend our rhino populations in the field even more commendable;
6) urges all South Africans who understand the plight of rhinos to share this information with people who are not yet aware of rhino poaching;
7) further urges all South Africans to join the fight against rhino poaching and to report any suspicious activity to their local law enforcement and conservation authorities; and
8) further urges all South Africans to visit both our public and private game reserves.
