Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that South African artist William Kentridge has been awarded the 2010 Kyoto Prize for Arts and Philosophy, becoming the first African recipient of Japan's highest private award for global achievement; (2) further notes that the awards, now in their 26th year, are regarded as Japan's equivalent of the Nobel Awards, with prizes awarded each year in three categories, namely: Arts and Philosophy, Advanced Technology and Basic Sciences;
(3) recognises that these prizes honour "significant contributions to the betterment of humankind" and each comes with a cash award of 50-million; and
(4) congratulates William Kentridge on winning this prestigious award and for flying the South African flag high.
Agreed to.
