Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Friday, 6 November 2009, Mr Tito Mboweni, the 8th Governor of the South African Reserve Bank officially handed over his position of Governor to Ms Gill Marcus, after an impressive ten- year tenure at the bank;
2) further notes that his career includes many exceptional highlights, including several honorary doctorates from amongst others, Unisa, the University of Natal, the University of North West and Stellenbosch University;
3) recognises that under his leadership the South African economy experienced prudential monetary policies which contributed towards unprecedented economic growth over a period of several years, and managed to see us through one of the worst global financial crises ever in commendable fashion;
4) thanks Mr Mboweni for his dedicated service to our nation over the past ten years; and
5) wishes him the best of success in all his future endeavours.
Agreed to.
