children, extended Buthelezi family and members of the IFP on the passing of an exceptional leader, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi who was a member of this House from 1994 until his passing? This extraordinary man's immeasurable contribution to freedom, constitutionalism, peace, justice, equality and democracy, nation-building included, has been acknowledged both locally and internationally. There, ACDP will always remember the leadership which Prine Buthelezi gave to this House. His voice of reason often restored order in this House. The ACDP joins this House in honouring Prince with lazy for his lifetime of service to South Africa as a champion of a liberation struggle and a respected statesman in our democratic era.

His first-born child of seven children, Princess Phumzile, says, he was a good father and an exceptional leader. Speaking of her father's love, she said he shared his wisdom with them on life and marriage, and that he sent all his children to good schools and that despise being extremely busy he always remembered to send boxes of groceries to their schools to ensure they had nutritious food. As I conclude, my prayer is that the great shepherd and saviour of our souls, Jesus Christ, will heal all broken hearts. And that the precious Holy Spirit will comfort all our souls, particularly that of the Buthelezi family, I thank you.

The HOUSE CHAIRPERSON (Ms MGBoroto): ICT, I do not think that anybody is allowed on the platform without a name and we are always disturbed by people that use alphabets. Please mute them even before because maybe it is your staff or somebody. Wecannot be disturbed all the time by Z, we do not know who Z is.
