Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South African Olympic gold medallist, Chad le Clos, improved his own world record in the 200 m butterfly race in the Fina World Championships in Singapore on Tuesday;
2) further notes that he achieved this amazing feat with a time of 1 minute 48,56 seconds;
3) acknowledges that Le Clos set the previous world record of 1 minute 49,04 seconds in the Netherlands in August this year;
4) further acknowledges that he also took the 50 m butterfly title in 22,24 seconds on Tuesday;
5) congratulates Le Clos on his winning performance; and
6) wishes him well in his future endeavours and hopes that he continues to fly our South African flag high and inspire many young swimmers.
Agreed to.
It cannot be "one hour". The time is wrong.
Whose time is wrong? We will adjust the time accordingly.
Speaker, I move without notice on behalf of the ANC:
That at its next sitting the House debates measures to empower the youth with values, soft skills and knowledge that could help the youth to develop into responsible and conscientious adults ...
Speaker, may I address you on a point of order? There was an agreement that there would be no motions and statements today. The agreement was made in the Chief Whips' Forum. I would like to raise a point of order on that.
I am not privy to agreements made in the Chief Whips' Forum, because this is not the Chief Whips' Forum ... [Laughter.] ... and agreements made elsewhere must come to us. Those that are made privately will remain private. [Interjections.] [Laughter.]
Speaker, we agree with our colleagues on the other side that there was such an agreement. We may have slipped, but there is an agreement. [Interjections.]
Yes, clearly you must have slipped. It is a slippery slope here! [Laughter.] I must just mention that if there are any agreements, I must get those agreements before we come here and not here in the Chamber. [Interjections.] All right. Order!
