Speaker of the North West Provincial Legislature Hon Sussana Dantjie said she is saddened by sudden death of former Member of Parliament and MEC, Mmule Maluleka who passed on early Thursday morning.
She passed away at her home in Mathibestad after a long illness and not long after being discharged from hospital.
In a statement released by the Speaker’s office, it read that at the time of her death, the Speaker spoke to her telephonically two days prior and was convinced that she was fully recovered especially that she presented no sign of illness whatsoever.
The Speaker Dantjie said this is a tragic loss to the Legislature and to the nation as a whole.
“Death has robbed the people of North West and South Africa at large, of a dedicated servant of the people who selflessly served her nation with distinction and loyalty.”
She was serving as the Media Liaison Officer in the Office of the Speaker at the time of her passing, and also having served as the Member of the National Assembly, MEC for Public Works in the North West Province and was at some stage the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee of Public Works.
“Ms Maluleka never disappointed as she served the public service with distinction.”
“She was an accomplished, committed and dedicated servant of the people with a high level of a very sharp mind who was ever ready to serve the people and her country” said Hon Dantjie.
