Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with sadness the passing of the Deputy President of the United Democratic Movement (UDM), Mr Ntopile Marcel Kganyago, MP on 17 July 2013;
2) further notes that he had been in hospital for about a week due to a short illness;
3) remembers that Ntopile Kganyago served as a UDM municipal councillor in Polokwane for four years, after which he became a member of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature until he became a Member of Parliament in 2004;
4) further remembers that when he was appointed as Deputy Minister of Public Works, he said he could not believe the trust that had been placed in him - he was a humble man;
5) recalls that Mr Kganyago also chaired the UDM in Limpopo and was elected as the party's Deputy-President in 2006 and again in 2010;
6) further recalls that before he served in the UDM he had a long career as an educator, a school inspector and as the Head of Psychological Service at the Department of Education;
7) believes that South Africa has lost one of its best educators and a dedicated servant of the people; and
8) conveys its heartfelt condolences to the Kganyago family, his colleagues and friends on the loss of this son of the soil.
