Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with sadness the passing away of Premier Soccer League Life President, Dr Leepile Taunyane, at the age of 86;
2) further notes that Dr Taunyane began his career in Alexandra as a football administrator in the 1960s and mentored the likes of Irvin Khoza in the 1970s;
3) acknowledges that he was also a school teacher and a principal, who played a huge role in the development of our soccer; 4) recognises that Dr Taunyane was a President of the Transvaal United African Teachers' Association, TUATA, and also of the National Professional Teachers' Organisations of South Africa, and was elected as the Chairman of the National Soccer League and of the Premier League;
5) further recognises that he was a versatile and skilful person, who managed to administer soccer while running the Alex Liaison Committee and being a full-time teacher, as well as being heavily involved in a whole series of teachers' organisations; and
6) conveys its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, the PSL and the education fraternity.
Agreed to.
