Chair, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) thanks Princess Charlene of Monaco for accommodating our national swimming team before the London Olympic Games;
2) notes that Princess Charlene took it upon herself to provide top accommodation and swimming facilities in Monaco for the swimming team to enable them to prepare adequately before the Games, at her own cost;
3) acknowledges that this great gesture provided our swimmers with quality time to prepare, so as to be ready to compete at the highest level;
4) recognises that after having been given this opportunity by Princess Charlene, our national swimmers did not disappoint, if we look at the medal tally; and
5) congratulates all our swimmers on their performance and thanks the princess for supporting South Africa.
