Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that today marks the start of the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, England;
2) further notes that South Africa will be represented at the Games by a 62-member team that personifies the spirit of sportsmanship and reminds us that with enduring sacrifice, determination and unwavering dedication we have the ability to grasp opportunities and realise our true talent and potential;
3) acknowledges that Team South Africa, which will once again aim to be one of the leading medal contenders, will strive to surpass its efforts of the 2008 Games in Beijing where the team won 30 medals, of which 21 were gold;
4) further acknowledges the dedicated efforts of all our sportsmen/women and support staff in the build-up to the Games; and
5) wishes Team South Africa the best of luck for its participation in the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
Agreed to.
