Madam Speaker, I come to the podium today to sadly bid farewell and pay respect to the beloved ANC MP, Zipporah N Nawa. Our sincere condolences are extended to the bereaved family and friends of the deceased. This condolence is especially extended to the loving sons and daughter of Mama Zipporah. Nawa was a great comrade in the fight against apartheid and active in her contributions as an ANC MP. We express our sincere condolence to the ANC on the loss of a great comrade and a defender of human rights.
Our condolences are further extended to the royal house under the auspices of the chieftaincy of Chief Simon Molathlegi, who has a strong bond to the family through Nawa's late husband.
Hon Zipporah Noisey Nawa, we salute you. May you rest in peace in the gardens of Heaven, knowing that you have sacrificed for the people and that your strength, hope and zeal, shall live on in our democracy for centuries to come. Rest in peace. I thank you.
