Hon Deputy Speaker, I rise on this sad occasion on behalf of the ACDP to convey our sincere condolences to the family of the late hon Ms Nontsikelelo Mavis Magazi, her friends, relatives, the ANC and, more particularly, the ANC Women's League, SACP and Sanco. We have noted with interest that throughout her life she always emphasised benevolence to cultivate social relations, both in the workplace and in the community. She was talented, vibrant and always went out of her way to get things done.
She did not shy away from responsibility. Known for her strength, bravery and selflessness, Ms Magazi wanted to see the people of South Africa, particularly women, enjoy a good life of quality and dignity. She also served the Benoni constituency with great devotion. Ms Magazi's life serves as an example of how we should serve one another. Although she was still in the prime of her life when she died after battling with cancer, she leaves behind her a legacy for others to follow. We honour her for that today.
May the God of peace and comfort bring comfort to her family, friends and members of the ANC and heal all our broken hearts.
