The George Municipality is mourning the death of its former mayor, Marius Swart, who died yesterday from Covid 19.
79-year-old Swart served as mayor from 2000 to 2004.
He also served as a member of Parliament for two terms.
The DA has also paid tribute to Swart, saying he was a proud
member of their East Region.
Municipal spokesperson, Athane Scholtz: "Mr Swart served George with excellence as mayor and was an outstanding representative of our city and the Southern Cape while serving as a member of Parliament years later.
Many current and former officials and councillors have fond memories of serving with him, and his charismatic presence will be remembered fondly."
