Mr Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that beloved South African actor Zack du Plessis passed away in the early hours of the morning, on 16 June 2011, at his home in Pretoria;
2) further notes that Du Plessis, an icon in the South African acting community, battled an aggressive form of cancer, yet preferred to be cared for at home so as to be with his family;
3) acknowledges that Du Plessis, who will be remembered for his dry sense of humour and ever-present comic frown, was the star of several award-winning productions including Orkney Snork Nie, Vetkoek Paleis and Maak 'n Las;
4) further acknowledges the contribution Du Plessis made to the South African acting fraternity; and
5) extends its condolences to Du Plessis's family.
Agreed to.
