Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that the 2009 Confederations Cup came to a close on Sunday, 28 June 2009;
(2) further notes that Fifa President Sepp Blatter gave South Africa a 7,5 out of 10 rating for its organisation of the Confederations Cup and labelled the event a tremendous success;
(3) acknowledges the tribute paid by Sepp Blatter to the South African fans who showed their patriotism and pride for their country by filling the stadiums throughout the event;
(4) recognises that the success of the Confederations Cup is a great boost for the country during the run-up to the 2010 Fifa World Cup and also resulted in valuable lessons being learnt for this upcoming international tournament;
(5) congratulates the organisers of the Confederations Cup as well as every South African who ensured that this event was a triumph for our country; and
(6) calls on all South Africa to remain united during the next 11 months and to work together to ensure that any remaining problems highlighted during the Confederations Cup are resolved before the start of the 2010 Fifa World Cup so that this event is an even greater success.
Agreed to.
