The
Constitutional Court has received an “extremely urgent court application” for
the appointment of an “investigative task team” to prepare for the end of the
world on December 21, according to a report on Wednesday.
Robert
Sefatsa, 38, a Soweto resident, also stated in papers handed in at court that
the government needed to form a new department to prepare for judgment day next
Friday, Beeld reported.
He
suggested that the new state department should be called the “department of
paranormal and esoteric sciences”.
Sebatsa
pointed out that according to the Mayan calendar, judgment day would be on
December 21, and it was therefore a matter of extreme urgency that South Africa
and other countries make their preparations for the apocalypse.
A
commission of inquiry should include geologists, statisticians, astronomists,
economists and extra-terrestrial technologists, and should be competent to cope
with evacuation procedures, sea and air logistics, and resettlement, he said.
