Chair, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with deep sadness and the utmost sense of loss the sad and untimely death of Comrade Leslie Nzimani Yengeni on 6 October 2009; 2) further notes that Comrade Leslie, as he was affectionately known, was born in Fort Beaufort in the Eastern Cape and later moved to Gugulethu in the Western Cape;
3) recognises that, influenced by the involvement of his sons Norman and Tony Yengeni in the struggle, Comrade Leslie became a distinguished member of the African National Congress and participated in various activities of the movement until his untimely death;
4) acknowledges that over the years he was subjected to regular harassment and degrading searches of his house for his so-called "terrorist sons" who in 1976 became involved in the struggle for the national liberation and social emancipation of the oppressed people of South Africa; and
5) takes this opportunity to extend its deepest and heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Olive Baba Nonasi Yengeni, and his three children Tony, Shirley and Ndodana and his many grandchildren.
May his soul rest in peace.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
