to move:
That this House:
(1) notes with regret the death on 19 November 2011 of Basil Lewis D'Oliveira;
(2) recognises his contribution to world cricket, especially in South Africa and England;
(3) notes that his quiet dignity in the face of rejection by South Africa for reasons other than cricket helped to transform public opinion in England and beyond;
(4) particularly recognises his long battle against apartheid in South Africa, his actions in bringing to the world's notice the disenfranchisement of non-white cricketers in South Africa, and that he became a leader of a worthy cause without ever seeking a leadership role; and
(5) notes that, as a result of the life of Basil D'Oliviera, non-white cricketers are able to represent South Africa with pride and distinction. (Notice given 21 November 2011.)
