Thanks, Chairperson. I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) debates whether the government has proactively anticipated the arrival of measles, given that measles has spread from Malawi to Zimbabwe and is widespread in both countries;
2) notes that complications with measles are generally common and these are diarrhoea, pneumonia, encephalitis and corneal ulceration; and
3) calls on government to act at once to begin large-scale immunisation to protect South African citizens from what Malawians have already gone through.
