Masondo and Modise said Buthelezi was one of the longest serving members of the national legislature.“We are pleased to learn that he remains in high spirits, and we are confident he will defeat this disease. We urge South Africans to keep him and many others infected or affected by this virus in our prayers”, said Masondo and Modise in a statement.
The two presiding officers of parliament called on South Africans to continue in their fight against the spread of the disease. They also called on the citizens to stick to the regulations set by the government to prevent the spread.
