Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Zoo City, the book by acclaimed South African novelist Lauren Beukes, won the prestigious Arthur C Clarke Award for the best science fiction novel of 2011;
2) further notes that the novel, which is set in an ultramodern Johannesburg, is said not only to bind the reader to the thrilling narrative, but also to attract new fans to this genre;
3) acknowledges that Beukes is the 25th recipient of this award which forms part of the annual London Sci-fi Film Festival; and
4) congratulates Ms Beukes for winning this award.
That is the motion. Mr Speaker, I see that it is set in an ultramodern Johannesburg. That must be a Johannesburg under the DA. [Laughter.]
Agreed to.
