Thank you, hon Deputy Speaker. The UCDP conveys its condolences to the bereaved family of the late hon M J Phala for the loss of their beloved son, beloved brother and beloved father.
Hon M J Phala served as a member of the provincial legislature in Limpopo from 1994 and joined the national Parliament in 1999 until April 2009. His contribution in building the democratic South Africa will always be missed. The UCDP says: "Lalang ka ntho madi a tshologe." [May his soul rest in peace.] Thank you.
