Statement by Zandile Phiri, Acting Secretary General of the United Democratic Movement
On behalf of the United Democratic Movement and its President, Deputy Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Bantu Holomisa, MP, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and the African National Congress on the passing of Mr. Pravin Gordhan.
There is no doubt that Mr Gordhan served this country with distinction for many years in various capacities. He will be remembered as a man of intellect with a great sense of humour. His dedicated service to this nation will not be forgotten.
He played a significant role in the struggle for this country and experienced the fruits of a free South Africa.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.
