On May 18, 2023, the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL) will hold a Special House Sitting to celebrate the life and contributions of the late Honorable Joe Mpisi, who was an elected Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPL). Hon. Mpisi’s sudden passing on May 12, 2023, due to a prolonged illness was a great loss to the community he had served with dedication and passion, especially as the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Education.
Hon. Mpisi was highly regarded for his dedication, wisdom, and leadership in the political community, and his impact on the lives of countless individuals will be remembered for years to come. In order to pay a fitting tribute to his life and contributions, the GPL has organized a series of commemorative events, including a Special House Sitting, a memorial service, and a funeral.
The Special House Sitting will be a gathering of political leaders, friends, and family to reflect on the remarkable life and career of Hon. Mpisi. The event will be accessible through live streaming on YouTube and Facebook, providing an opportunity for people from different locations to join the tribute remotely.
Following the Special House Sitting, a memorial service will be held at City Hall for those who wish to pay their respects and remember the incredible impact Hon. Mpisi had on their lives. Similar to the Special House Sitting, the memorial service will also be available for viewing through live streaming on YouTube and Facebook.
A funeral service will be held at the Change Bible Church in Katlehong as the final send-off for Hon. Mpisi. Those who wish to bid their final farewells may attend in person or view the service through live streaming on YouTube and Facebook.
