Madam Deputy Speaker, I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Saturday, 20 April 2013, a local TV star, Ms Florence Masebe, won the award of Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Africa Movie Academy Awards in a ceremony at Yenagoa, Nigeria;
2) further notes that she won the award for her role in a short Venda film, Elelwani, in a difficult category against famous names such as Nollywood royalty Rita Dominic;
3) remembers that the film, written and directed by Ntshavheni wa Luruli, tells the story of a young woman who has to negotiate the tension between her Venda traditions and her modern aspirations;
4) acknowledges the great impact this movie is making in Africa and the international arena in brilliantly telling South African stories and exposing the world-class talent within our film industry; and
5) congratulates Ms Masebe and all those involved in the making of this movie on receiving the award and wishes them success in their future endeavours.
Agreed to.
