Speaker, I move without notice:

That the House-

1) notes that on 6 September 2019, one of the most visionary and bravest of leaders produced by the African anti-colonial liberation movement, Mr

Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the former President of Zimbabwe, passed on;

2) further notes that President Robert Mugabe was a devoted Pan- Africanist, a principled revolutionary, with unwavering commitment to the cause for the liberation of Africa and development of the African continent in a manner that puts African people first;

3) acknowledges that he stands head and shoulders above the rest in his commitment to resolve the timeless question of the return of African land back to African people, of the use of African wealth for the development of Africa;

4) realises that the Fast Track Land Reform Programme in Zimbabwe remains a lodestar for all those still fighting for the return of the land;

5) further acknowledges that in his lifetime, he faced unimaginable attacks in the quest for the return of the land to African people, and that

Zimbabwe was punished for daring to redefine itself as a sovereign nation; and

6) sends its condolences to the family of Robert Mugabe and to the people of Zimbabwe for whom Mugabe gave all his life.
