Hon Deputy Speaker, I hereby move without notice:
That the House -
1) welcomes the decision of Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu to retire from public life; 2) recalls that Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu is one of the leaders who popularised the notion of the rainbow nation and is a symbol of peace and reconciliation, a renowned clergy and an academic of excellence;
3) further recalls that he was the voice of the liberation movement when its leaders were silenced, through forced exile, imprisonment, house arrests and banning by using his clerical position and the pulpit to expose the injustice and the inhumanity of the apartheid regime to the international world;
4) believes that South Africa would not be what it is today without the contribution of Archbishop Tutu and many of the leaders of his generation;
5) acknowledges Archbishop Tutu's selfless contribution to the liberation of our country, South Africa, and his continental and international campaign for peace and justice; and
6) wishes Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu well on his retirement and that his contribution to the liberation of South Africa will always be part of our history and will be narrated from generation to generation.
Agreed to.
