Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with the utmost sense of loss the death of former politician and businessman Dr Frederik Van Zyl Slabbert on Friday, 13 May 2010 at the age of 70 years;
2) further notes that Dr Slabbert was the living embodiment of active citizenship and an outstanding South African with a pioneering and indomitable spirit whose incisive intellect helped shape our young democracy, particularly in driving our country's electoral laws and processes; and
3) takes this opportunity to convey its profound condolences to the Slabbert family, particularly his wife Jane and his children Tania and Riko.
May his soul rest in peace.
