Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes and welcomes with a deep sense of appreciation to Justice Edwin Cameron's retirement as a judge from the Constitutional Court after a respected legal career of 25 years on Tuesday;
2) also notes that Justice Edwin Cameron is one of the greatest legal minds of his time, known for his lifelong advocacy for human rights, as well as his fight for universal access to antiretrovirals for HIV positive citizens;
3) further notes that Justice Cameron, who is openly gay and was one of the first public figure to disclose his HIV status, first graced the bench as an acting judge on 20 August 1994, until December of the same year;
4) wishes the selfless and humble people's judge well in his retirement and his future endeavours with the hope that the nation will benefit from his legal expertise even after his retirement.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
