He made joy and laughter his daily bread, and in this hard time, seeing South Africa see that too, has brought us smiles in this season of sorrow.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Thuli mentioned that she was sad that the grandchildren in the family will miss out on some of the lessons that they have learned from him.<\/p>\n<p>President Ramaphosa said that the news of Mthembu\u2019s passing struck a deep and solemn note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember the words of William Shakespeare, \u2019When sorrows come, they come not as single spies, but in battalions!\u2019&#8230; The stroke of death has taken the very one who has been our citadel, our rock, and our towel of strength at this deadly moment in our country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has left a void in our government, in the movement to which he dedicated his life and in the country of which he was such a proud citizen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMvelase was among those infinitely rare individuals in our politically-charged society. He was admired and respected across party lines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been profoundly touching to witness how the news of the minister\u2019s passing stilled the clatter and bickering that has consumed us in recent times and united us in our sorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne dare hope that the sentiment that has been displayed at Minister Mthembu\u2019s passing is a reminder that we have more in common than we may choose to believe, whether as members of society or as political parties. After all, we all want one thing: what is best for our country,\u201d Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have lost a man who was able to transcend political differences, and to reach out and forge alliances in pursuit of a common goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Farewell my dear brother, my comrade and friend. Ulala ngoxolo Mvelase ka Guda! Rest in peace. #RIPJacksonMthembu pic.twitter.com\/fZ9nTSqDrM<\/p>\n<p>The president said that the country needs more men and women like Mthembu, who understood and appreciated that \u201cwe are all heading in the same direction, and that the onward march to a better South Africa is so much easier if we work together\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have lost not just a dependable colleague and a comrade. I have lost a dear friend, and it is a loss I feel most keenly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinister Mthembu had many virtues that I observed over the many years of the friendship we shared. He was generous in spirit and had a charming personality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had the endearing ability to lift my mood and fortify my resolve in even the most difficult situations,\u201d Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n<p>May we, like our departed leader, regard service to our country as the highest calling, and do so with humility and courage. Jackson Mthembu was one of our nation\u2019s heroes, one of our finest public servants and one of our greatest patriots. #RIPJacksonMthembu ? pic.twitter.com\/OHfaopkZnq<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a sense of humour that was often most irreverent. He laughed \u2013 with his entire body \u2013 about things that he probably shouldn\u2019t have, just as he cared deeply about everything that he should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa said that he was principled and a man of great courage, in times of both calm and difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>Mthembu was an honest man who never hesitated to speak up for what he believed to be right, no matter the cost, Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis life was full of meaning and accomplishment in the way he dedicated himself to serve the people of our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will remember him for his kindness, his professional approach, but above all for his ever-present sense of calm, even in a crisis or when we would be under extreme pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we pay homage to him today, let us remember him for what he was, a servant leader who loved the people of this great land, and put them above love of party, of leader, and of self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HAMBA KAHLE MKHONTO pic.twitter.com\/BhuPpp01Z8<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa said that it was not enough to eulogise Mthembu, but that everyone must work to complete what he was not able to finish in his lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we lay him to rest, may it be that others step forward to follow in his footsteps and take up his spear. May we too speak for those who cannot. May we too give comfort to those in need, especially at this time of hardship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay we too put love of country before love of self,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>IOL<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
