FLORENCE MASAKONA'S OBITUARY

Message of condolences from Dr Tshenuwani Farisani on the death of Cde Florence Masakona

It is with sadness that we received the tragic news of the passing on of yet another member of the legislature early this week, the chairperson of the Standing committee on the Status of women, youth and People with Disabilities, Comrade Florence Masakona, who died on Wednesday.

Comrade Florence Masakona, who passed on after many months of ill health, has been a member of the Limpopo Legislature since the late 90s, replacing yet another member, Ms Bulala who had also passed on. Her valuable contributions to the democratic state are well documented and known. She has been a champion for women, youth and people with disabilities. She was well-known for her non-nonsense stand when coming to issues close to her heart.

On behalf of my family, the legislature, and people of Limpopo, I must confess this has been a tough year for us in the Legislature. This is the second member of the Legislature, and a third person we have lost within a year.

Cde Masakona died at a crucial time, when the movement she is passionate about is to be host to one of its largest meetings, the 52nd Conference in the Province. Her absence and contributions will be missed.

We ask the nation to pray with the Masakona family, her children and the Limpopo legislature, during these trying times.

Vha edele nga Mulalo Mukololo
May her soul rest in Peace
