Minister Chabane’s death a great loss to the country, says Premier Mahumapelo
North West Premier Supra Obakeng Ramoeletsi Mahumapelo says the untimely death of Mr Collins Chabane, Minister of Public Service and Administration has not only robbed the country of a selfless and devoted leader, but a high-spirited and loyal cadre whose immense contribution in building a capable state will never be wiped away.
Sending his condolences to the Chabane family and families of his driver and body-guard who all three died in the early hours of this morning in a tragic road accident, Premier Mahumapelo said “These families’ loss is indeed a great loss to the country and its growing democracy. We wish the bereaved families strength and comfort during this difficult time. May their souls rest in everlasting peace,” Premier Mahumapelo said.
Premier Mahumapelo encouraged Provincial Government employees to honour the ideals Chabane tirelessly worked for as the former Minister in the Presidency responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation, and as the Minister of Public Service and Administration where he uncompromisingly promoted good governance in all aspects of the public service. “We must continue, in memory of this leader, to ensure accurate and complete adherence to the prescripts governing this sector of government, and prioritise monitoring and evaluation as a fundamental and strategic function in the public service,” Mahumapelo said.
