TimesLive reports that Parliament has lost one of its employees to Covid-19, the legislature announced on Friday.
In a statement, presiding officers Thandi Modise and Amos Masondo said that Amos Komeni, a 60-year-old, succumbed to the disease on Thursday. Komeni had been employed in the office of the deputy speaker of the national assembly, Lechesa Tsenoli, since May 2014 as a project administrator. “We are shocked and saddened by this. We all hoped he would conquer this and be discharged from the hospital. This sudden turn of events has all of us gutted,” the statement read. Tsenoli said Komeni had served his office with utmost dedication and diligence. Parliament has been under strict lockdown since the end of March and its work is being done virtually.
