Chairperson, the ACDP notes the death of Member of Parliament, Mr Frans Hlakudi Nkoana, who died in Pretoria on 19 January, following an illness.
My colleagues and I did not have the privilege of working with the hon Nkoana during his brief time at Parliament. Nevertheless, we take special note of the words of his colleagues who describe him as very knowledgeable politically, an astute educator, a skilful organiser, a unifier, a problem solver, a tireless revolutionary and a man passionate in his desire to see factionalism and corruption in the institutions of governance rooted out.
The ACDP joins this House in conveying sincere condolences to his wife, Florah, his four children, his father, his friends and colleagues. Thank you.
