    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a comment on this Statement. First, we see this very common occurrence from time to time from our uniformed police officers. It is not the first time that this is happening. Secondly, we may not know the circumstances under which this happened because the Statements reads that it was a stray bullet. Therefore, by now, we may not know the circumstances. However, it is important for us to get to the root cause of this matter so that we understand why there was a stray bullet and under what circumstances it happened. During politics, it is a very common occurrence. We know very well that our police officers do their best to protect lives. However, much as they do that, at the same time, many mistakes have been made from time to time. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is good that we get proper attention on the Statement and we come to a clear understanding on what may have happened and bring to a conclusion such unnecessary deaths of our citizens. We should be able to trust our uniformed officers. Any time we see them around us, we should have confidence in their presence. We should not get scared that anything could happen. Therefore, I want to support the Statement by Sen. Shiyonga and ask that the Statement be committed to the right Committee. It is a very common occurrence and it is very unfortunate. Many people have lost lives unnecessarily bringing a lot of pain to many families because this has happened many times. Thank you."
