Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that on Wednesday, 10 March 2010, South African swimming star, Natalie du Toit, won the 2010 Laureus Disability Award at a star- studded ceremony in Abu Dhabi;
(2) further notes that the mission of Laureus is to use and promote sport as a powerful mechanism for dealing with some of the world's toughest social challenges and that currently it has 78 projects around the world that use sport as a means of tackling some of the gravest social, economic and environmental problems facing society today;
(3) recalls that in 2008 Natalie du Toit made history in Beijing by becoming the first amputee ever to qualify for the Olympics, where she finished 16th in the 10 km open water swim and that she is one of only two athletes to have competed in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and that she became the toast of South Africa after winning five gold medals in the Paralympics;
(4) believes that the award she has received is in recognition of the hard work, dedication and commitment to the sport that she loves and the country that she represents; and
(5) congratulates Natalie on a job well done, because she has, yet again, made South Africa proud by raising its flag in the international arena.
Agreed to.
