ANC Mourns Passing of Cde Collins Chabane
The African National Congress mourns the tragic and untimely passing of ANC
NEC Member and Minister of Public Service and Administration, Comrade
Collins Chabane and his two protectors, Sergeants Sekele and Lentsoane, in
early hours of this morning. Comrade Collins Chabane and his protectors were
fatally injured in a car accident whilst driving between Gauteng and
Limpopo.
With his incisive mind, sharp wit and easy humour, Comrade Collins' passing
leaves a huge void in the ANC and Government. He was a true servant of the
people who joined the struggle for liberation at a very young age and soon
went on to carry on the fight in exile. An ardent and passionate lover of
the arts, Comrade Collins was a versatile and personable cadre at home on a
marimba as he was in the corridors of power from which he served our people.
Comrade Collins made an immeasurable contribution in the policy making
processes of the organisation and as the inaugural Minister for Performance
Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency during the 4th Administration.
His groundbreaking work entrenched accountability and performance
measurement as a centre feature of the work of government.
The African National Congress sends its condolences to Comrade Collins
Chabane's family, his Cabinet colleagues as well as comrades and friends his
life's worked touched. We wish them strength and courage during this
difficult time of loss as they attempt to come to terms with the falling of
a great baobab tree. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the families and
friends of Sergeants Sekele and Lentsoane. May they be comforted in the
knowledge that their loss is shared by us all.
