Madam Deputy Speaker, undoubtedly when one passes on it is indeed a sorrowful moment. Today, on behalf of the MF, I want to extend heartfelt condolences and messages of strength to the family and friends of the late Jannie Momberg.
It reminds me of another very profound saying of Mahatma Gandhi, who said that you must not lose hope in humanity - humanity is an ocean and, if a few dirty drops fall in the ocean, it will not make the entire ocean dirty. That reminds me of the remarkable personality that the late Mr Momberg had, a man who had the courage and the persistence to make a change.
You have heard those who were associated with the late Mr Momberg remember him as a person to be greatly admired. His work towards building a nonracial, united and prosperous South Africa will never go unnoticed.
Indeed, from God we have come and unto God we shall go. We pray that the soul of the late Mr Jannie Momberg will rest in peace in the high heavens. I thank you. [Applause.]
