Our prayers and thoughts are with High Commissioner Modiselle during this period of sadness as she mourns the passing away of her lifetime partner, friend, husband and comrade. May the family find solace in knowing that the people of our country and province in particular share their grief,” says Premier Modise.
Dr Modiselle, a human rights activist and former ANC Branch Chairperson in Mahikeng had been married to High Commissioner Modiselle for 43 years and supported her throughout her political career spanning over 20 years. The couple met in Canada while in exile.
