Hon Deputy Speaker, the PAC joins a mourning nation in bidding farewell to Comrade George Phadagi. Comrade Phadagi's untimely death leaves all of us the poorer. He served his party, the ANC, and the nation with distinction. He died at his post, like the loyal people's servant he was. He leaves behind a rich legacy of selfless service.
As the PAC, we hope that the hon Phadagi's family will find solace and comfort in the fact that he lived for the noblest cause on earth: the liberation of humanity. Thank you. [Applause.]
