Parliament, Thursday, 8 July 2021 - The Presiding Officers of Parliament, led by Speaker of the National Assembly Ms Thandi Modise and Chairperson of the NCOP Mr Amos Masondo, have learnt with shock and sadness about the untimely passing of Mr Cameron Mackenzie due to Covid-19 related diseases last night.
