Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that today serves to commemorate the 350th year of apple cultivation in the Western Cape;
2) further notes that this event is being commemorated through the re- establishment of varieties of apples that are of historic importance to the industry, as well as through the launch of a book that explores the history of apples at the Cape;
Will the hon members on my left please allow the hon member to be heard.
3) acknowledges the newly proclaimed Heritage Block at Oak Valley, where the replanting of local and important historic cultivars has taken place;
4) further acknowledges the importance of apple cultivation to the Cape and to the South African fruit cultivation and export industry as a whole; and
5) congratulates Tru-Cape, the largest supplier of apples and pears in South Africa, on this initiative and for their contribution to the country's heritage.
Agreed to.
