Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) dedicates some time to pay tribute and homage to Rev Motlalepula Chabaku, who was the last surviving member of the leadership of determined women who, in 1956, led a march of thousands of women from all over South Africa, representing all racial groups and classes, to protest against the extension of passes to women by the apartheid regime; 2) notes that Rev Chabaku, who once served as a member of our Council and served our people with the utmost dedication and humility in the Gauteng and Free State provincial legislatures, was the first female Speaker of the Free State legislature; and
3) acknowledges that paying tribute to this great stalwart of our people and a veteran of our struggle for liberation will be a show of profound appreciation for the formidable role that Rev Chabaku played in our society and democracy.
