Voorsitter, ek gee kennis dat ek sal voorstel:
Dat die Raad -
1) kennis neem dat die Suid-Afrikaanse Protea-krieketspan die beste in wreldkrieket op die Internasionale Krieketfederasie se ranglys is;
2) die Protea-krieketspan alle sterkte toewens met die komende Internasionale Kampioene Trofereeks wat aanstaande Dinsdag begin, waar die Proteas teen Sri Lanka deelneem; 3) verder kennis neem dat 'n Sharks-rugbytrui met die Discovery- ruimtetuig na die Internasionale Ruimtestasie geneem is - ruimtevaarders mag een persoonlike besitting saam met hulle na die ruimtestasie neem op so 'n tog - en die Amerikaanse ruimtevaarder Patrick Kennedy is 'n groot Sharks-rugby-ondersteuner en het besluit om sy Sharks-rugbytrui saam te neem, dit is dus die eerste rugbytrui wat die ruimte in is;
4) ook die Sharks rugbyspan baie gelukwens met hulle tweede oorwinning teen die Blou Bulle op Loftus Versveld in die Curriebekerreeks; en
5) die Sharks rugbyspan alle sterkte toewens met hulle kragmeting teen die Vrystaat Cheetahs Saterdag in Durban. (Translation of Afrikaans notice of motion follows.)
[Mr W F Faber: Chairperson, I hereby give notice that I shall move:
That the Council -
1) takes note that the South African cricket team the Proteas ranks as the best team in world cricket according to the International Cricket Federation;
2) wishes the Proteas cricket team well in the coming International Champions Trophy series, starting next Tuesday, when they face Sri Lanka;
3) further notes that a Sharks rugby jersey was taken to the International Space Station with the Discovery space craft, with astronauts being allowed to take one personal possession with them on such a flight, and the American astronaut Patrick Kennedy being such a huge Sharks rugby supporter that he decided to bring along his Sharks jersey - clearly the first rugby jersey to travel into space;
4) also congratulates the Sharks rugby team on their second win in the Curry Cup competition against the Blue Bulls at Loftus Versveld; and
(5) wishes the Sharks rugby team well in their showdown against the Free State Cheetahs this Saturday in Durban.]
