Madam Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the MF, we extend our heartfelt condolences and express our deep regret to the Schmidt family for their irreplaceable loss.
There are many sorrows in life and one of the greatest sorrows, that no one would like to experience, is the sorrow of death. We pray that God Almighty will bestow strength, courage and fortitude on the Schmidt family to deal with their irreplaceable loss.
Our condolences also go to the DA for the loss of this wonderful person, astounding personality and remarkable individual who undoubtedly made an incredible contribution to the Portfolio Committee on Energy.
We pray that the deceased will rest in peace in the high heavens. From God we have come and unto God we shall go. May his soul rest in peace.
