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.
