Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that Bafana Bafana beat Poland 1 - 0 in their final warm-up match for the Confederations Cup on Saturday, 6 June 2009;
(2) further notes that they beat Mauritius 2 - 0 in a friendly match on Saturday, 30 May 2009;
(3) acknowledges that both these wins are a great boost not only for Bafana Bafana but for all South Africans ahead of the Confederations Cup; (4) recognises that around 20 000 spectators came to watch Bafana Bafana play against Poland at the Orlando stadium, highlighting the great excitement felt by the country for the upcoming Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup; and
(5) congratulates the team and coach Joel Santana on their victories and wishes them well for their opening Confederations Cup Group A match against Iraq on Sunday, 14 June 2009.
Agreed to.
