Democratic Alliance DA leader John Steenhuisen has extended the partys condolences to the friends and family of a long-time party member and ambassador to Thailand, Douglas Gibson.
Among others, Gibson served as a chief whip of the Democratic Party and continued to be a member of the Democratic Alliance.
He went on to serve the country as an ambassador to Thailand from 2008.
Steenhuisen says the party will miss Gibson, a man who tirelessly fought for a better South Africa for all.
Douglas was a fierce fighter for freedom in South Africa who, even to the last days of his life, took no prisoners in advocating for what he and our party believed. An immense capacity for compassion retaining throughout his career an accessibility and clear humanity in all engagements.
