Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that acclaimed South African photojournalist Anton Hammerl was shot and killed on 5 April 2011 while reporting on the civil conflict in Libya;
2) further notes that Hammerl, who was renowned not only for his selfless dedication to his profession, but also for his daring work in difficult situations in hostile environments, was thought to be alive for at least 45 days before it was revealed by three fellow photojournalists, who had been captured after Hammerl had been shot, that he had in fact died from his injuries;
3) acknowledges that Hammerl's work, which took him to all corners of the African continent and around the world, was covered extensively in leading media publications, including The Times USA, Newsweek and The New York Times;
4) urges the South African government to do everything possible to recover the body of Hammerl so that his family can lay him to rest;
5) extends its heartfelt condolences to Anton Hammerl's family and the media community for their loss; and
6) laments the loss of a truly great South African.
Agreed to.
