The passing of Mario Ambrosini a great loss for democracy
16 August 2014
We have lost a great man in Mario Ambrosini. He was a fighter for human rights and democracy, a person of integrity who understood and advanced our cause, and a powerful friend.
The DA extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. Mario will be sorely missed.
I saw Mario this past Tuesday. He was very ill, but he was courageous enough to leave his friends with tasks in his unfinished agenda for change in South Africa. We will honour his legacy by continuing on this journey.
Mario will be remembered for his unparalleled contribution to Parliament and the defence of our freedom and the Constitution.
