Chairperson, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that three Durban women, Pinky Zungu, Bongiwe Mbambo and Precious Dube, made history by becoming South Africa's first black female marine pilots authorised to navigate ships of any size and type in South African waters;
2) further notes that the epic achievement by the three women from poor communities and households is a milestone and a remarkable encouragement for many young girls from poor families to seize the opportunities presented by our democracy and break the discord of gender stereotyping and marginalization suffered by women in apartheid South Africa; and
3) takes this opportunity to congratulate and salute these three women on their remarkable and historic achievement.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
