Madam Deputy Speaker, I move the draft resolution printed in my name on the Order Paper as follows:
That the House -
(1) notes with great sadness the news of the passing of Mrs Cheryl Gillwald on 27 July 2010 at the age of 53 from cancer;
(2) further notes that Gillwald was born in Welkom in the Free State on 13 December 1956, matriculated in 1974 at Roedean in Johannesburg and that, after one year at Washington High School in Wisconsin as an American Field Service exchange student, she completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of the Free State;
(3) recognises the community work she did in the township of Intabazwe as a young woman, that she also helped start the Fundisanani Community Trust which, among other things, built a centre for street children, and also organised winter schools where she lined up student teachers from the University of the Free State to help township matric students with their maths and science;
(4) further recognises that she joined the African National Congress when it was unbanned and in 1994 was called to Parliament to serve in the Senate and then the National Council of Provinces, which replaced it, and that she was appointed as Deputy Minister of Justice in 1999 and of Correctional Services in 2004; (5) remembers that Gillwald was extremely hardworking, efficient and conscientious and produced a regular and informative newsletter for her constituents in Intabazwe; and
(6) conveys its heartfelt condolences to her husband, son, family, friends and comrades in the African National Congress, the Women's League, the Alliance and the community of Intabazwe she served and loved.
