Mr Speaker, the UCDP received the sad news of the death of the hon Deputy Minister of Health, Paul Molefi Sefularo, with great shock. The hon Sefularo was one of those rare individuals that served the government, both in the North West legislature as MEC for health and in the National Assembly as the Deputy Minister of Health, with dedication, loyalty and efficiency.
Molefi was a humble, kind-hearted man, who always served with a smile during hard and good times alike. He will always be remembered for his remarkable contribution to the nation. Rest in peace, hon Sefularo. The UCDP says good night. We shall meet tomorrow. Good night.
Bo Rra Sefularo go na le pina ya Setswana le Sesotho e e reng:
Seo o nkadimileng sona, ga o re ke se busetse, Ntate ke tla leka gore: "Ho lokile, ho lokile." Re ga tshio tse di thata di kgaola ditshika tsaaka, le gona ke tla re: "Ho lokile, ho lokile."
Ke a leboga. [Legofi.] (Translation of Setswana and Sesotho paragraph follows.)
[To the Sefularos, there's a Sestwana and Sesotho song that goes:
Let me return what you had lent me, Father, I will try to say: "It is well, it is well." Even when death cut off my family ties, I will keep on saying: "It is well, it is well"
I thank you. [Applause.]]
