Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Nolwazi Madlala, who is wheelchair-bound, has overcome extraordinary circumstances and is pursuing her dream of becoming a psychologist and one day owning a practice;
2) further notes that Nolwazi, who was orphaned at the age of 12, was placed under the guardianship of her uncle together with her two siblings;
3) acknowledges that a year after her mother's death, Nolwazi was involved in a car accident that injured her spine and resulted in the death of her brother, whose funeral she could not attend because she was still in hospital;
4) appreciates the fact that her family tragedies and her disability did not take away her love for education;
5) commends Nolwazi for entering a competition for South African youth in the Extraordinary Champions category, which recognises people with disabilities who have overcome difficulties;
6) congratulates her for winning the Presidential Award at a special ceremony and for earning the top honour of the evening; and
7) wishes her well in her studies towards a Master's degree at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and encourages her to pursue her dream of one day owning her own practice.
Agreed to.
