Dear MyPE
The Democratic Alliance Eastern Cape, in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, is deeply saddened by the passing of one of its longstanding and respected colleagues, Councillor Lodewyk Gallant, who passed away yesterday.
Lodewyk Gallant was a DA PR Councillor in Nelson Mandela Bay from 2016 and worked specifically in Ward 29.
He will be remembered for his tireless fight against violence and unemployment in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth and his active participation in all facets of community life.
Cllr Gallant previously served as a DA Eastern Cape Deputy Provincial Chairperson and is also a former deputy principal of Bertram Senior Secondary School in Bethelsdorp.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gallant family during this sad time. Cllr Gallant will always be in our hearts.
Regards
Cllr Nqaba Bhanga
DA EC Provincial Leader
