Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House - 1) notes that Pretty Yende and Given Nkosi, two of South Africa's most talented young opera singers, have recently been awarded fellowships to study in Europe;
2) further notes that Yende, a soprano, recently won all four awards at the Hans Gabor Belvedere competition in Vienna, and Nkosi, a tenor, proceeded to the finals;
3) recognises that these achievements are testimony to their talents and the efforts of the University of Cape Town's Opera School and their professors, Virginia Davids, and Angelo Gobbato, the school's founder; and
4) wishes both Yende and Nkosi well during their studies.
Agreed to.
