Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 21 October 2010 marked the 92nd birthday of Albertina Sisulu, affectionately known as maSisulu, a woman who has dedicated her life to champion the rights of the people of South Africa, especially women and children;
2) acknowledges the many contributions she made, as an activist par excellence and nurse, a wife and a mother to the nation;
3) further acknowledges the contributions she made when elected to become a Member of Parliament in 1994;
4) recognises that she joined the ANC Women's League in the late 40s and became active in the Federation of South African Women, which lobbied for equality, was also part of the organising team for the historic anti-pass protest of 1956 and became the first woman to be arrested under the General Laws Amendment Act of 1963 and faced detention for 90 days without charge;
5) further recognises her active participation in the preparations for the launch of the United Democratic Front (UDF) and her continued participation in the UDF, even after being arrested;
6) wishes maSisulu a happy 92nd birthday; and
7) thanks her for all the sacrifices she made for this country and its people, both black and white.
Agreed to.
