Condolences kept pouring in for the late former roads and public works MEC Gloria Barry who passed away this morning from a long struggle with cancer.
ANC provincial secretary Lulama Ngcukayithobi said the party was saddened in the province by Barry's passing. "While we are saddened by her death, we send our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and the ANC structures where she served selflessly.
The news of comrade Barry's death has rattled all of us in the ANC," he said.
Ngcukayithobi said Barry was one of the founding members of the National Union of Metal Workers of SA. Following the unbanning of the ANC in 1990, he said, Barry was one of the few women who formed part of the Eastern Cape provincial Interim Leadership Structure of the ANC.
“We wish to convey our condolences to the Barry family and the Muslim community at large. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. We deep our revolutionary banner in honour of this great giant of the liberation struggle,” Ngcukayithobi said. Barry will be buried today at the Gavin Park mosque in Port Elizabeth.
