#CoronavirusNW: MEC Rosho to lead funeral proceedings─── LEATILE LEIEE 09:39 Fri, 10 Jul 2020
MEC of Finance, Motlalepula Rosho, is expected to deliver the eulogy of the late North West MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Mothibedi Kegakilwe, who will be laid to rest on Friday at Vryburg.
According to Vuyisile Ngesi, Rosho will be taking over from Premier Job Mokgoro who is currently in quarantine.
Several government employees in the North West are self-isolating following the Covid-19 breakout in recent days.
President Cyril Ramaphosa granted Kegakilwe a provincial official funeral category 1, and also ordered that the national flag fly at half-mast. The funeral proceedings will be broadcast on different media platforms, including live streaming on the Office of the Premier's Facebook page.
Premier Job Mokgoro, who earlier this week was confirmed positive for Covid-19, was later admitted to a medical facility after declaring that he had a slight cough.
OFM previously reported that some of the MECs in the province had contracted the virus, which has so far killed over 36 residents in this province, including the late MEC Kegakilwe.
