Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that internationally renowned opera diva Mimi Coertze celebrates her 80th birthday today, 12 June 2012;
2) further notes that Ms Coertze returned to South Africa in 1973 after her acclaimed career at opera houses in Europe, including the well-known State Opera House in Vienna;
3) recognises that since her return, she has set an example to all South Africans by investing her musical talent and time in the identification and development of musical talent amongst young South Africans, in particular people from disadvantaged communities; and
4) congratulates Ms Coertze on her birthday and wishes her well in the future.
Agreed to.
