Political parties have mourned the passing of DA stalwart and party federal chairperson James Selfe, following his death on Tuesday at the age of 68.
DA party leader John Steenhuisen praised Selfe and described him as ‘one of the unsung heroes of South African democracy’, who dedicated his life to the betterment of the country.
“His legacy will live on in the corridors of parliament, and in the memories made with family, friends and colleagues alike,” Steenhuisen said ActionSA leader and former DA mayor of Johannesburg, Herman Mashaba said Selfe’s career featured a commendable track record of genuine dedication to strengthening the constitutional order of the country.
“ActionSA honours his memory, which we believe serves as an inspiration for the vital role that Parliament plays in holding the executive to account, a principle that James Selfe understood, respected, and ensured guided his work,” Mashaba said.
