Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) welcomes the commitment by the Government to build a golden statue of uTata Nelson Mandela at the Union Buildings as part of the centenary celebrations of the Union Buildings;
2) notes that the preparations are at an advanced stage to erect and mount the statue as a gesture from the Government to honour uTata Madiba;
3) believes that the statue would become a centre of attraction and will indeed boost tourism;
4) acknowledges that uTata Madiba continues to unite our nation and remains an enduring symbol of our freedom and democracy; and
5) congratulates those involved in the decision to have this honour bestowed upon uTata Madiba who is a global icon of reconciliation.
Agreed to.
