I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that the Mangosuthu University of Technology in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, celebrates its 35th birthday this year;
2) further notes that the birth of the Mangosuthu Technikon, in 1979 was not an easy birth for at the time the apartheid regime had enforced the doctrine that the masses should be denied education, especially technical or scientific education;
3) recognises that Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi vigorously pursued the funding to establish this university, in line with his strong belief in education for liberation;
4) further recognises and thanks Mr Harry Oppenheimer, who funded and supported the Mangosuthu University of Technology initiative, which started off with only 15 all-male students 35 years ago, but now has over 10 000 students;
5) acknowledges the immense work being done at the Mangosuthu University of Technology as a leader in the field of tertiary technical training; and
6) congratulates the university, management and staff on the many achievements of the university, including, but not limited to, the many female scientists it produces.
Agreed to.
