Hon House Chair, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with great sadness the passing on of former Springbok and Rugby World Cup winner, Chester Williams, at the age of 49;
2) believes that Chester Williams was one of the heroes of the 1995 winning Rugby World Cup team, a tournament that the Springboks participated in for the first time;
3) recalls that the Springbok's winning of the 1995 Rugby World Cup saw a unification of all South Africans, a first of its kind since the advent of democracy in our country;
4) further recalls that Williams played 27 games for the Springboks and scored 14 tries;
5) understands that he was the coach of the University of Western Cape rugby team which took part in the Varsity Cup competition for the first time this year;
6) believes that he has left an indelible footprint in the rugby fraternity and that his contribution to the development of South African rugby will forever be remembered; and
7) conveys its condolences to his family and colleagues in the rugby fraternity.
Agreed to.
