The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) is deeply saddened to have learnt of the passing of former Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Council Chairperson and Member of Parliament, Hon. James Selfe.

On behalf of the Party, I extend the IFP’s sincere condolences to the Selfe family, his friends, colleagues, and all members of the DA.

Hon. Selfe was a dedicated public servant, having spent most of his life serving the people of South Africa with distinction.

His commitment to serving South Africans in Parliament for over two decades will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.

Hon Selfe’s contributions to the opposition political landscape were significant, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of leaders.

May he rest in peace.
