Mr Speaker and hon members, on behalf of the UDM, I would like to extend our condolences to the family and colleagues of the late hon Frans Ting-Ting Masango. He played a leading role in the 1976 student protest and was most famous for being one of the four men who were sentenced to death in the notorious Delmas Trial.
In the year 1991, he and his three comrades were released. After a life spent in service to his people, the hon Masango was recently elected to Parliament, a democratic institution which, many would argue, exists because of the efforts of people like him. We are bidding farewell to him and hope that his family will find consolation in the words spoken here today. May his soul rest in peace!
Robala ka khut?o, monna wa banna; senatla sa dinatla. [Rest in peace, man of men; hero of heroes.]
