Madam Deputy Speaker, I do want to move a motion without notice - and this is a far more serious matter than any issue to do with soccer or the Blue Bulls.
Madam Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South Africa has yet again won a gold medal at the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show, annually held in Chelsea, London;
2) further notes that the South African entry, themed Botanical Landscapes, won the country's 31st gold medal at the event which is widely considered as the most famous gardening event in the world;
3) acknowledges the effort of designers David Davidson and Ray Hudson, who successfully managed to capture the beauty of South Africa's fynbos, in particular the rare plant species of the Richtersveld and Greater Karoo area;
4) further acknowledges that South Africa's entry was made possible through the contributions of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Western Cape provincial government, the SA Gold Coin Exchange and the Scoin Shop;
5) believes that the focus of the South African entry on the natural wonders of the Western and Northern Cape, will further highlight not only South Africa, but the Western Cape as a favourable tourist destination; and
6) congratulates the South African team for doing the country proud.
Agreed to.
