Minister Zizi Kodwa made the statement during the late Jackson Mthembu s memorial, which was held online via Zoom.
He said what made the incident more painful was because not only had Mthembu been a fierce advocate of adhering to Covid-19 rules and regulations, but had succumbed to the virus.
Kodwa added that Premier Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipani s avoidable incident overshadowed Mthembu s send-off.
Mpumalanga Premier Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipani was slammed for not wearing a mask during the ANC s Zoom memorial service for the late Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu.
It was an insult to his memory , former ANC spokesperson and deputy State Security Minister Zizi Kodwa said on Monday after the premier failed to wear a mask to his funeral on Sunday, and the incident was captured on television and video clips that did the rounds on social media.
