14 September 2024

Th Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) sends strength to the Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa, Paul Mashatile, who had an unfortunate moment while addressing the N'wamitwa Day Celebrations in Tzaneen, Limpopo.

In a health scare that has sent the nation into great concern, Deputy President Paul Mashatile collapsed whilst giving his key note address at the event, reportedly due to the high levels of heat and possible dehydration.

Deputy President Paul Mashatile is an important figure in the politics of South Africa, and as the leader of government business in the National Assembly, he is a crucial intermediary between the opposition and Ministers, and has been steadfast in ensuring the Executive executes their Parliamentary responsibilities without fail.

The EFF is pleased by the reports from the Presidency that Deputy President Mashatile is recovering well, and wishes him a full recovery as a leader who has exhibited humility, openness, availability and diligence in his responsibilities.

We wish the Deputy President health and hole to see him resume his responsibilities in due course.
