Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Tuesday, 16 February 2010, Ms Tribute Mboweni, an Ecotourism student at the Tshwane University of Technology was selected by the G8/G20 Youth Summit to represent South Africa as the Minister of Environment at its annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada, in May 2010;
2) further notes that the summit is an interactive educational forum which aims at assisting young leaders to learn about the activities of the G8/G20 countries;
3) recognises the prestigious nature of the event and the honour which an invitation thereto bestows upon both Ms Mboweni and South Africa;
4) further recognises that last year Ms Mboweni represented South Africa in Germany as the winner of the Bayer Young Environmental Envoy competition and thus this is the second time that Ms Mboweni has been selected to represent South Africa as an ambassador at an international event;
5) acknowledges that the youth are the future of our great nation and recognises that ensuring that every child within our country receives a first-class education is one of the most sacrosanct responsibilities of the leaders of this magnificent country; and
6) congratulates Ms Mboweni on this excellent achievement and on making her country and its people proud.
Agreed to.
