moved without notice on behalf of the ANC:
That the House -
1) notes with great sadness the passing on of Umhlobo Wenene FM Veteran DJ Zola Kaso-Majiza on Wednesday, 16 October 2019, at Life Mercantile Hospital after a short illness;
2) understands that the 67-year-old radio legend, affectionately known as Makazi spent almost three decades in the broadcasting industry before retiring in 2015; 3) acknowledges that she contributed immensely towards the popularisation and development of gospel music into one of the biggest music genres today, especially when it came to traditional gospel music;
4) believes that South African radio listeners have lost a giant of the airwaves who contributed to nation-building through her radio programmes; and
5) extends its heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, staff and the listeners of Umhlobo Wenene FM.
Agreed to.
