Mr Speaker, I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that two South African paraplegic athletes Ernst van Dyk and Krige Schabort competed in the "Men's Push Rim Wheelchair" Division of the Boston Marathon held on 19 April 2010 and made their country proud by securing first and second place respectively;
2) further notes that this year marked the 35th "Men's Push Rim Wheelchair" Boston Marathon, which Ernst van Dyk has won nine times and for which he holds the course record, making him the most successful competitor in the history of this gruelling 42 kilometre race between rural Hopkinton and Boston USA;
3) recognises the exceptional nature of the respective performances by these two dedicated athletes who finished the race within three seconds of each other; and
4) congratulates these outstanding ambassadors for South African sport for their achievements and for making South Africa and its people proud.
Agreed to.
