Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) congratulates Gcineka Mbambisa, who was recently awarded the 2012 L'Oral Unesco For Women in Science Fellowship;
2) notes that Gcineka Mbambisa was chosen from about 207 applicants and is among 10 women scientists from across Sub-Saharan Africa who were also awarded fellowships for their work in science;
3) further notes that the awards are open to all women scientists up to the age of 40 working towards a PhD in the fields of science;
4) acknowledges that her research will help in the development of highly efficient materials at a very low cost in an effort to make solar energy accessible to communities across Africa;
5) believes that with winning the award, Gcineka Mbambisa will help inspire other young people, especially young women who want to pursue science; and
6) wishes her the best in her future endeavours.
Agreed to.
