I move without notice:
That the House-
1) notes with great sadness that ten children died and five were seriously injured when a train hit a taxi at a level crossing at Bakenskop outside Cape Town in the early hours of this morning;
2) further notes that the number of accidents of this nature has steadily increased over the past few months;
3) recognises that safety measures relating to level crossings need to be implemented as a matter of urgency to prevent tragic accidents of this nature occurring in the future;
4) further recognises that further rules and regulations need to be implemented on our roads to reduce the number of accidents;
5) thanks the paramedics who assisted at the scene of this accident for their efficient service; and 6) conveys its deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the children.
Agreed to.
