The death of Minister Jackson Mthembu was a loss not only to his family, but to the people of South Africa and he would be remembered fondly for his courage, empathy, loyalty, sense of humour and depth of knowledge of the struggle for freedom.

Johannesburg - The death of Minister Jackson Mthembu was a loss not only to his family, but to the people of South Africa, said Boyce Maneli, the chairperson of the communications portfolio committee.

Maneli said Mthembu’s untimely passing was a loss for not only his family and friends, but to the Cabinet and employees of the Government Communication and Information System . “The passing on of Minister Mthembu has robbed not only his family, but the entire nation. We are left poorer without him. However, we are comforted by the indelible legacy that he is leaving behind, in both Cabinet and government communication. May his soul rest in peace,” said Maneli.The UN said Mthembu had played a role to the Struggle movement as a student leader during the 1976 uprisings against the Apartheid regime.
