Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the brutal slaying of three brothers, Xolisani Memela, Mzothiswa Memela and their younger brother Zi-khaliphele Memela, who were shot and killed by the police on suspicion of being criminals;
2) further notes that the police claimed that they had been attacked by the deceased and had retaliated in self-defence;
3) acknowledges that the case is being investigated by the Independent Complaints Directorate, ICD; and 4) takes this opportunity to condemn in the strongest possible terms this incident and calls on the National Police Commissioner General Bheki Cele and the ICD to ensure that the case is prioritised.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
