The African National Congress has expressed its sorrow at the passing of the party’s stalwart. The ruling party says Ginwala was a great leader. “Today we bid farewell to somebody who has been part of the infrastructure of our democratic South Africa- and so, she leaves behind a legacy that I think is quite important. For us, may it be a guiding light for all of us that infact when you’ve got a legislature that works- that you can really start to materially change the lives of ordinary people.”
“As former speaker she had the gravitas to ensure that there was respect and discipline and she protected the decorum of the national assembly everybody knew that she was a speaker that ensured those values and what South African needs is a speaker like Frene Ginwala again.”
