Hon Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with profound sadness the death of veteran jazz singer mama Dorothy Masuka on Saturday 23 February at the age of 83, succumbing to a complication related to hypertension after suffering a stroke last year in 2018;
2) further notes that mama Dorothy Masuka was not only a musical but also a cultural activist and fearless gender advocate who remained a laudable voice of the marginalised in the dark days of apartheid;
3) also notes that though mama Dorothy Masuka was born in Zimbabwe, she played a vital role in the liberation of South Africa through music with other iconic legends like Miriam Makeba, Margarete Mcingana, Thandi Klaasen and Letta Mbulu and others;
4) acknowledges that Dorothy Masuka star will always shine in death just as it did in life, in her the nation has lost an arts and culture activist; and
5) take this opportunity to convey its deepest condolences to her family and friends, may her soul rest in eternal peace. Hamba kahle Nontsokolo.
I so move.
Is there any objection to the motion? The motion shall therefore be agreed to in terms of section 65 of the Constitution.
I have tried my best. I accommodated provinces and parties in my list. The only province that I left out that has not raised an issue is the Northern Cape. Can you be the last motion?
