Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on Thursday, 26 August 2010, at the Annual General Meeting of the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), Jacobus Louw, a volunteer at Cape Agulhas station, was honoured with a Gallantry Award for his selfless conduct on the morning of 15 June 2010, when he and the crew of NSRI Rescue Boat 7 braved the elements and torrid seas to save the lives of five people in distress off the coast between Struisbaai and Quin Point;
2) further notes that the rescue mission lasted almost five hours and was conducted in incredibly dangerous conditions which included 7 meter high swells and a howling South Easter;
3) recognises that the NSRI team put their lives in jeopardy to save the lives of others, who would have perished were it not for the selfless actions of the team;
4) further recognises that the men and women of the NSRI provide an invaluable service to all South Africans who venture into the sea; and
5) extends its gratitude to the men and women of the NSRI for their courageous service to South Africa.
Agreed to.
