Fumanekile Gqiba

 * ... that former South African Ambassador to Israel Fumanekile Gqiba named his daughter "Israela" in honor of her birth-place?
 * Comment: Nominating this article 8 days after creation, not 5, but hope it will be considered -- especially since we've had to endure Hurricane Sandy during that time period!

 * Symbol question.svg I'll AGF the creation date, due to Sandy's explanation. Size is fine. But the hook is not present in the article, which only states " they will never be able to forget their stay in Israel because the youngest of their children is not only a sabra, but her name is Israela". It says nothing about the daughter being born there, and named in honor of Israel. On a minor note, I changed the S. to South in the hook. Please ping me on talk for a re-review. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:46, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this note! I had written (quoting from one of the references) that Gqiba's daughter is a "sabra," which means a female born in Israel--but I didn't wikify that term or explain it, so it's my fault if you did not understand the meaning of that word!  I have both wikified it and explained it. Additionally, I have clarified that "Israela" was a name given in honor of her birthplace, supported by reference 9 in the article. Please let me know if anything else needs to be clarified. Again, thanks! NearTheZoo (talk) 02:59, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
