Yesterday was the funeral of Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu who passed away due to Covid-19 related illnesses last week.
President Cyril Ramaphosa gave a moving tribute to the late Minister Mthembu.
Jackson Mthembu was laid to rest at the Old Pretoria road cemetery in his home town of Emalahleni.
The President said he was shocked and heartbroken when he received the news about Minister Mthembu’s untimely death from Minister Zweli Mkhize.
He went on to say Mthembu was an honest man who never hesitated to speak up for what he believed to be right no matter the cost.
Minister Jackson Mthembu was certainly loved by most South Africans, some said his death reminded them of the passing of Chris Hani.
