Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes with sadness the untimely passing of Wendy Ramokgadi, creator of the 2010 Fifa World Cup Diski Dance, on Friday 27 May 2011 at the age of 46, shortly after arriving from Hong Kong where he was invited by the South African Consular General to perform;
2) further notes that Wendy Ramokgadi started dancing at a very young age, having been influenced by the late Michael Jackson, hence he got the name the "Michael Jackson of Soweto" during the eighties;
3) recalls that in 2009 he was assigned to create a dance for the 2010 World Cup, which was later known as the Diski Dance, and that it was performed throughout the country and abroad prior to and during the World Cup, whence there he got the name Mr Diski Dance;
4) further recalls that he later became a choreographer for Mango Groove, Chicco, Rebecca, Brenda Fassie and HHP, to mention but a few, and was also the principal choreographer of the Telkom Charity Cup since its inception;
5) believes that he brought to the youth, and to all of us, the fact that hard work, perseverance and faith are key to success - values that we should uphold as we continue to celebrate the successes of the World Cup; and
6) conveys its heartfelt condolences to his wife, family and friends as well as to his fans.
Agreed to.
