Madam Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the IFP and our President Dr M G Buthelezi, today we are mourning the death of a man, uBaba uJohn Phala, chiefly known as Mokgomana, who has contributed so much to the struggle for the freedom of our country. It has been a great loss to South Africa as a whole, because to lose a man of his stature affects us all.
To the family of uBaba uPhala ... kanjalo nakuKhongolose, sithi ... [... and also to the ANC, we are saying that ...]
... we extend our heartfelt condolences. May his soul depart in peace. Siyabonga. [Thank you.] [Applause.]
