I am sure members would have noticed that this past week we had the funeral of Inkosi yakwaXhosa. I am sure many of us would have seen hon Mkiva on television and the important role that he played at that important ceremony. I just thought that it may be a useful and wise thing to do to ask members to stand and observe a moment of silence.
I am told that the Whippery has agreed that there will not Notice of Motion and Motion without Notice and therefore we should proceed and ask the secretary to read the first order of the day.
