ANC NEC member and Communications Minister Nomvula Mokonyane visited the home of the late ANC MP Fezeka Loliwe in Frankfort outside Bhisho this afternoon.
Loliwe was killed in a tragic car accident in Alice last week. She had been driving from her constituency in Fort Beaufort.
Mokonyane paid her respect to Loliwe's family and thanked them for availing their daughter to serve the people of SA.
"We are here to let go of the hurt we are experiencing after the death of comrade Loliwe. We can't describe the hurt the family is going through. But we hope they find consolation in that this is a soldier that fell in the line of duty," she said.
Mokonyane was accompanied by Dr WB Rubusana regional chairman and Buffalo City Metro mayor Xola Pakati. She said she was representing both the ANC and government.
