The Democratic Alliance’s Chief Whip in Parliament, Natasha Mazzone MP, received the Italian Order of the Star, an equivalent of a knighthood in Italy, for her outstanding leadership in Parliament and fighting for a just society in South Africa.
The award recognises the preservation and
promotion of national prestige, promoting friendly relations and co-operation
with countries and ties with Italy and is awarded to Italian expatriates and
foreign nationals.
‘’Natasha was one of the most prominent
Parliamentary figures to fight the State Capture scourge within the State
machinery. She has fought tooth and nail to uncover evidence, which she later
testified on before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.’’ The DA said
in a statement.
‘’It was her relentless effort to fight the
state capture and hold Parliament accountable during the dark phase of our
democracy that is now in the public discourse. Her efforts are now
internationally recognized and we will continue to fight for all South Africans
as they deserve a better government in South Africa.’’ It added.
