Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that acclaimed South African author, poet and playwriter, Adam Small, was awarded the prestigious Hertzog Literature prize for his lifetime contribution to Afrikaans literature and in particular his most famous work, Kanna hy k hystoe, by the South African Academy for Science and Art;
2) recognises that in addition to his work as writer and poet, Small has also been an acclaimed scholar, serving in academic positions at the University of the Western Cape and the University of the Witwatersrand;
3) further recognises that Small was a student activist involved with the Black Consciousness Movement and the South African Students Organisation (SASO); and
4) acknowledges Small's efforts to apply literature, arts and culture as a means to unify a nation divided by race, economic and social disparities.
Agreed to.
