Deputy Speaker, the ID expresses its condolences to the surviving family - which includes four sons and five grandchildren - friends and colleagues of the late former Member of Parliament, Mr Jannie Momberg.
The 72-year-old Momberg, who was an old hand at politics, a veteran sports administrator and a businessperson, suffered a heart attack on 7 January 2011 at his Western Cape home. It is with great sadness that we have to pay our last respects to a man and a distant colleague who has been so dedicated to his cause and to our country.
Jannie Momberg will be remembered and celebrated as a progressive Afrikaner who fought against the evils of apartheid and racism to afford many oppressed citizens a free and democratic South Africa. His active roles in the parliamentary portfolio committees on Home Affairs, and Sport and Recreation, and the Joint Committee as Ethics and Members' Interests instilled a deep respect in those serving alongside him. I thank you.
