Acting Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on 18 October 2012, anti-apartheid activist and teacher to fellow Robben Island prisoners, Dr Sedick Isaacs, died of cancer at the age of 72;
2) further notes that Dr Isaacs published a book titled Surviving the Apartheid Prison, which his wife published with her pension money;
3) acknowledges that he was jailed on Robben Island for 12 years, where he taught fellow prisoners mathematics and was one of the initiators of the Island University, which fought for the rights of inmates to study;
4) further acknowledges that while imprisoned, Isaacs obtained a BA degree in mathematics and psychology, a Masters degree in Information Science and a Doctoral degree in Computer Science; and
5) extends its heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Agreed to.
