The DA’s new Leader of the Opposition, Lindiwe Mazibuko<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Political parties expressed their sadness at the news of the death of United Christian Democratic Party president Mavis Matladi on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The African Democratic Party said Matladi would be missed for her wise counsel and lively contribution in Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have come to respect Mrs Matladi for her diligent commitment and exceptional ability to co-operate closely with members of all political parties,\u201d said African Christian Democratic party president Kenneth Meshoe in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Alliance also paid tribute to Matladi as a \u201chard-working and principled Member of Parliament, who always sought to make a positive contribution to South African politics\u201d.<\/p>\n

DA MP Lindiwe Mazibuko said she would be missed in Parliament.<\/p>\n

Both parties extended their condolences to Matladi’s family, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

Matladi, 53, died at the Milpark Hospital on Friday morning. She was admitted to the hospital on November 12 with breathing problems.<\/p>\n

She was elected as UCDP’s leader in January after the expulsion of its founder Lucas Mangope, who governed Bophuthatswana from 1977 until 1994 when the homelands were scrapped.<\/p>\n

The UCDP is a minor political party based in North West. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
