Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes the tragic story of Delon Egypt, who was one of the victims who lost an eye in what residents refer to as the "Hangberg Police War" when city police demolished shacks built in a firebreak on the sides of Sentinel Mountain and openly shot defenceless residents, with at least two people losing an eye each after being shot at close range and 62 residents being arrested;
2) further notes that despite the fact that the bullet is still lodged inside Mr Egypt's head because doctors say it would be too dangerous to remove it, Mr Egypt has not received any assistance from the City of Cape Town; and
3) takes this opportunity to call on the City of Cape Town to ensure that residents of Hangberg are provided with support to recover from the traumatic experience inflicted by its police officers.
