Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes Bafana Bafana's excellent performance during the Confederations Cup despite losing to Brazil in the semifinal on Sunday, 28 June 2009;
(2) recognises that Bafana Bafana entered the tournament as rank outsiders but progressed to the semifinals due to playing excellent tactical football and demonstrating supreme confidence in their abilities as a team; (3) acknowledges the great football players in the team who played their hearts out for their country and who made every South African proud and also highlighted the depth of football talent we have in South Africa;
(4) recognises that Bafana Bafana gained important experience playing against top international teams during the Confederations Cup and their strong performance is a great boost not only for the team but for the country during the run-up to the 2010 Fifa World Cup;
(5) congratulates the team on their outstanding performance during the tournament and the vast improvement in their game; and
(6) wishes Bafana Bafana well for their preparations during the run-up to the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
