Parliament has learnt with shock about the passing of Mrs Albertina Sisulu, mother of the Speaker of the National Assembly Mr Max Sisulu.
Mrs Sisulu was a member of our first democratic Parliament, an icon in her own right and a South African who displayed selfless service in our liberation struggle. Hers was a life lived to the full.
Her exemplary life will remain an inspiration for us to intensify our efforts to deepen democracy and to create a better life for all our people.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Sisulu family.
Hamba kahle Ma-Sisulu.
