Intensifying the war on COVID-19 will be the best tribute to Kegakilwe

This week, the African National Congress (ANC) said the best tribute members can pay to Kegakilwe is to intensify the war on COVID-19 by encouraging all South Africans to adhere to health safety protocols.

In a statement, the ANC described him as a hardworking servant of the people who was selflessly committed to the notion of building a better life for all.

“We convey our heartfelt condolences to Kegakilwe’s family, the entire membership of the ANC and the people of the North West. May his soul Rest in Peace.”

The late MEC previously served the governing party in various capacities, including as the North West Provincial Deputy Secretary and as Regional Chairperson of Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati.
