 Long time DA member and leader, James Selfe has died at the age of 68 after a protracted battle with cancer. Selfe was elected to South Africa's first democratic parliament in 1994 and served in the national assembly until he retired in 2021. He served in the Portfolio Committee  of Justice and Correctional Services and was Chair of the DA's Federal Council for almost 20 years until he resigned from it in 2019. In 2021 Selfe testified at the State Capture Commission about corruption in Correctional Services specifically with regards to Bosasa in his capacity as DA's Shadow Minister for Correctional Services since 2009. It was in that same year he retired from parliament as a result of ill health. SABC News reporter, Busi Chimombe filed this report.
