Chair, I move without notice:
That the Council-

(2) notes that this team comes from a squatter area and was able to play up to the quarterfinals in this competition;
(3) further congratulates Edwin Soko, a young man who is a founder of this team and who worked without any sponsors to achieve this feat; and
(4) also acknowledges the talent that is out there in soccer for the young ones.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
Are there any further motions without notice? There are none.
Hon members, before we move on to the first Order of the Day, I want to acknowledge once more the delegation from the City of Johannesburg. When I initially acknowledged them, they were not yet in the gallery. I now want to acknowledge, in the gallery, the delegation from the City of Johannesburg led by Councillor Speaker Nkele Ntingane and Councillor Christine Walters. You are welcome to this august House. [Applause.]
I also want to acknowledge and welcome in our midst and to this historic debate this afternoon the hon Premier of the Northern Cape, Dipuo Peters, and the hon Speaker and special delegates who are accompanying them. You are welcome, Premier and delegation. Thank you. [Applause.]
