Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House - 1) notes that South African writer Sifiso Mzobe has won the prestigious Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa for his work, Young Blood;
2) further notes that Mzobe, who has become only the second South African to win this prize, also won the Sunday Times Fiction Award and the Media24 Herman Charles Bosman prize for English Literature in 2011;
3) acknowledges that the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature, which was established by the Lumina Foundation in 2005 to honour Mr Wole Soyinka as the African continent's first Nobel laureate in Literature, is bestowed upon the author who has best applied his or her talents to affect the lives of others in a positive manner; and
4) congratulates Mr Mzobe on this impressive achievement and wishes him well with his future career.
Agreed to.
