Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes with profound sadness the death of Zakes Zulu Mokae, one of South Africa's most accomplished film and stage actors at the age of 74 in the United States;
2) further notes that Mokae, who had been awarded the Order of Ikhamanga II Silver for his excellent contribution to South African theatre and achievements in the field of acting, was born in Johannesburg where he worked closely with Athol Fugard before going into exile in the United Kingdom in 1961 where he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and that in 1969 he moved to the United States where he quickly distinguished himself on stage and in films and that he was also part of a collective with Fugard that focused on dissecting South Africa's political problems;
3) recognises that despite his numerous achievements abroad, he remained largely unknown in South Africa;
4) calls on the people of South Africa to take note of this South African legend's major contribution; and
5) conveys its sincerest condolences to his wife, Mandy, and two sons during this very difficult time.
Agreed to.
