Deputy Chair, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that two former employees of Parliament, Messrs Abbass and Campher, were dismissed when they stood as candidates in the 2006 local government elections;
2) further notes that the SA Human Rights Commission, SAHRC reported on 21 May 2010 that the dismissals were unconstitutional;
3) recognises that our political freedom was achieved at a high cost through the contributions of Madiba and many other freedom fighters and as we celebrate this legacy of our father Madiba, let us make every day a memorable one;
4) therefore moves that Parliament should -
a) reinstate and reimburse them for their loss of income;
b) address the lack of opportunity and professional development suffered by them;
c) provide redress for the violation of their human rights and the losses suffered; and
d) apologise to these two patriotic South Africans for violating their human rights.
