Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with deep sadness that one of South Africa's anti-apartheid stalwarts, Sheena Duncan, died on the morning of 4 May 2010 at the age of 78;
2) further notes that Duncan was a founder of the Black Sash and earned respect for her independent thinking and commitment to fighting for justice and that she represented the exploited masses;
3) recalls that Duncan, as a leading woman activist, gave support to hundreds of detained anti-apartheid leaders in the 1980s and that these included leaders of the banned African National Congress which was then represented by the United Democratic Front (UDF), civic, youth, media and women's organisations;
4) believes that Sheena Duncan will be sorely missed for her contribution and principled commitment to the fight against apartheid oppression, which led to the realisation of the dream of a democratic and non-racial South Africa;and
5) conveys its heartfelt condolences to the Duncan family, their relatives and friends.
Agreed to.
