The death of minister in the presidency Jackson Mthembu has reminded South Africans that we have more in common than we would like to believe, President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday.

When Ramaphosa relayed the news to deputy president David Mabuza, national chair Gwede Mantashe, secretary-general Ace Magashule, deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte and treasurer-general Paul Mashatile, they were all consumed by disbelief and grief.

We have lost a man who was able forge alliances in pursuit of a common goal. We need more men and women like him, who all understand that we are heading in the same direction Mthembu brought certainly and clarity and utmost professionalism to every task that he was assigned to, said Ramaphosa, adding that Mthembu had left a huge void in the government.
