Pretoria - Since the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in March last year, the City of Tshwane has lost several councillors, most dying of Covid-19-related complications.
Yesterday councillors paid tribute to their fallen colleagues in a memorial service for two who recently died.
The one, Emily Nkosi, 53, was an ANC ward 29 councillor in Soshanguve. She died on July 12 after a short illness. Nkosi was described as a selfless leader, active in driving the formalisation of the area where she lived.
The other, the DA councillor in Pretoria West’s ward 55, Frik van Wyk, 62, died on July 21. He was hailed as active in community work and committed to his family. He entered politics in 1994.
