Speaker and hon members, ... monna wa lerato, monna wa botho, monna wa seriti, monna wa senatla, monna wa kwelobohloko; yoo ke Mna Tolo. Beke e fetilego o tlile go nna mola ke dulago gona, a ntshwara mo legetleng a mpot?a gore, o swanet?e go dira maano a go bit?a kopano ya batho ba go t?wa Limpopo, gore ge go nale mathata re tsebi?ane. (Translation of Sepedi paragraph follows.)
[... a man who loved people, a kind man, a dignified man, a strong man, a compassionate man; that was Mr Tolo. Last week he came to my place, put his hand on my shoulder and told me that he has to call all the people who are from Limpopo to a meeting so that we could inform each other when we encounter problems.]
He said this because I had lost a son two weeks before, and he did not know about it. When he came there, he came with a suggestion, to inform people who are closer to one another when death strikes. He said that he would take it upon himself to call that meeting. I really don't know what is going to happen, because he is gone.
Fela ke monna wa lerato. [He loved people.]
The UDM once more extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues, on the tragic death of the late hon Jack Tolo.
Once again, crime has robbed us of a diligent and hardworking citizen. Government needs to intensify its efforts in fighting violent crime in South Africa, in order to prevent further unnecessary losses of life.
He succeeded in playing various parliamentary roles which came and went over a long career in politics. Underneath, though, Bishop Jack Tolo was a community builder. He never hesitated in drawing from his personal resources in order to help members of his community.
Taba ya metsotso e mebedi e tlo mpolaya ka gore nka se kgone go bolela t?e dingwe ka baka la nako ye. [Two minutes is not enough because I won't be able to say everything I wanted to say.]
