Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with sadness the passing of South African cycling legend, Ertjies Bezuidenhout, earlier today;
2) further notes that Bezuidenhout suffered a massive stroke on Sunday shortly after competing in a cycle race;
3) acknowledges that Bezuidenhout, widely renowned for his competitive demeanour and unparalleled climbing skills, won the Rapport Cycle Tour in 1984, followed by three Argus titles, winning the race in 1981, 1984 and 1986;
4) further acknowledges that, at the peak of his professional career, Bezuidenhout won a stage of the prestigious Giro d'Italia Cycle Tour in 1979;
5) recognises his contribution to cycling and sport in South Africa; and
6) extends its condolences to his family. Agreed to.
