Voorsitter, ek stel sonder kennisgewing voor:
Dat die Raad -
(1) kennis neem dat die Sharks-rugbyspan die Pumas die naweek met 30- 14 verslaan het;
(2) verder kennis neem dat die Sharks-rugbyspan nou ver voor loop op die Curriebeker-reeks met 'n allemintige 41 punte, met die naaste span aan hulle die Westelike Provinsie met 33 punte, en dat dit dus 'n uitgemaakte saak is dat die Sharks na die kwarteindstryd van die Curriebeker-reeks sal vorder; en
(3) die Sharks-rugbyspan alle sterkte toewens met hul kragmeting teen die Vrystaat Cheetahs op Saterdag in Durban in die Shark-tenk en kennis neem dat hul ondersteuners ook geweldige simpatie het met al die ander Curriebeker-rugbyspanne wat nie naastenby op die Sharks se standard kan rugby speel nie.
Ek dank u. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[Mr W F FABER: Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that the Sharks rugby team beat the Pumas by 30-14 over the weekend;
2) further notes that with a formidable 41 points the Sharks rugby team is now way ahead in the Currie Cup series, the team closest to them being the Western Province with 33 points, and that it is therefore a foregone conclusion that the Sharks will progress to the quarter-finals of the Currie Cup series; and
3) wishes the Sharks rugby team well in their showdown against the Free State Cheetahs on Saturday in the Shark tank in Durban and notes that their supporters also have enormous sympathy with all the other rugby teams in the Currie Cup who cannot even come close to matching the level of rugby played by the Sharks.
I thank you.]
Is there any objection to the motion?
Chair, I'm just a bit confused. I want to find out from which province the hon Faber comes. [Laughter.]
That's not an objection. [Interjections.]
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
