MINISTER JACKSON MTHEMBU SUCCUMBS TO COVID 19

The global pandemic – Covid-19 has claimed yet another life in the country, the honourable Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu.

It is confirmed that he died on Thursday morning due to covid-related illness. The President Cyril Ramaphosa issued a statement confirming the passing of the Minister and described him as an exemplary leader, an activist and life-long champion of freedom and democracy.

A week ago Minister tweeted that he was at a hospital in Tshwane to get medical attention for his abdominal pain.




Minister Mthembu was much loved and greatly respected. President Ramaphosa extended his greatest sympathies to the Minister’s family, colleagues and comrades so did other politicians and Political parties.
