Minister Motshekga also worked very closely with the MEC in the ANC Womans League where she served as the organisations Provincial Chairperson and was nominated for the position of Deputy Secretary General of the National structure at the recent National Conference.

Cde Grizelda was undoubtedly one of the most developed and seasoned cde's of our movement. She was a popular, respected politician who was liked by everyone she met, and her bubbly infectious laughter that always filled a room with positivity will be sorely missed.
