Office of the ANC Chief Whip, 16 August 2014 Sad Passing of Mr Mario Oriani-Ambrosini The Office of the ANC Chief Whip has learned with grave sadness the news of the passing away of respected Inkatha Freedom Party Member of Parliament and ardent constitutionalist Mr Mario Oriani-Ambrosini. He passed on after a courageous and brave battle with cancer. Since his diagnosis with cancer last year, Mr Oriani-Ambrosini became a public advocate for alternative cancer treatment and a symbol of inspiration and hope in the fight against cancer and for those living with or affected by it. His placement of cancer treatment on public agenda and selfless campaign for innovative medical interventions will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark in our common and ongoing national struggle against the disease. Mr Oriani-Ambrosini indeed was no ordinary politician. Although we did not always agree with his political views, we held him in high regard for his constitutional expertice, remarkable experience on governance matters and for the contribution he made to our democratic transition process as an advisor to IFP leader Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi. He was a fierce and outspoken debater, a seasoned negotiator, a principled legislator and a passionate politician. We will miss the vibrant contributions he made to our parliamentary debates and national political discourse in general. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, his comrades and colleagues in the IFP and friends on this sad loss.
