Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with deep sadness the death, over the weekend, of His Majesty Nkosi Zwelenkosi Lwandile Matanzima;
2) further notes that the deceased was one of the younger generation of traditional leaders who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his people and rural communities in general;
3) recognises that Nkosi Matanzima leaves behind a great legacy: as the great-grandson of Ngangelizwe, his death marks the turn of events in the history of traditional leadership in the Eastern Cape and the entire country;
4) further recognises Nkosi Matanzima's contribution to the transformation of institutions of traditional leadership, which sought to offer women and nontraditional leaders an opportunity to take part in the development of their communities, and also honours him for his unwavering commitment to the Tembus; and 5) conveys its heartfelt condolences to the Bakhozi of Western Tembuland and the people of the Tembus on the untimely death of His Majesty Nkosi Zwelenkosi Lwandile Matanzima and assures them that thoughts and prayers of its members are with them during this difficult time.
Agreed to.
