Hon Speaker, in moments like this, you become confused because you have to accept that the ANC is blessed with true warriors, and Minister Collins Chabane was one of them. You end up asking yourself if, really, Mr Collins Chabane was one of those people.

[He once told me to enjoy the five years as a Member of Parliament because when the term expires I will no longer have that opportunity. He also promised to provide me with a job after the term expires. He always addressed me as a parent despite the fact that I am here as a representative of Agang SA.
I would like to thank the Chabane family for sharing this hero with us, as a nation, from the age of 17 when he was a student at the University of Limpopo, where he joined the party to fight against the apartheid regime. We have now gained freedom and we are in this House now because of his contribution to the struggle. My sincere gratitude to the ANC for affording this man the opportunity to serve his country.
On behalf of Agang SA, I extend heartfelt condolences to his family. We share in your loss. We believe that what happened will teach us to be cautious on the road. I thank you.]
