Hon Chairperson, on behalf of the DA I hereby wish to give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that more than 60 farm murders took place from the beginning of December 2010 to the middle of January 2011 in South Africa;
2) further notes that these murders have been carried out on farms and smaller agricultural farm units;
3) acknowledges that urgent attention and action is required to investigate and to stop this ongoing crime and murder before our food security is threatened; and
4) recognises that no country can operate normally with some 50 people being murdered every day and someone being raped every few seconds.
