ANC CAUCUS STATEMENT ON DEATH OF BUSINESS REPORT JOURNALIST

16 March 2006

The African National Congress Parliamentary Caucus has learned with deep
sadness the death of Business Report journalist and Parliamentary Press
Gallery Association [PGA] member, Lynda Loxton.

Loxton, a long serving PGA member and one of the country`s experienced
and gifted female journalists, will be remembered for her sterling
contribution to the country and the continent`s quality journalism.

Her death has robbed South Africa of one of the experienced and diligent
journalists in the area of politics and business.

The ANC expresses its heartfelt condolences to Loxton`s family and
friends, her colleagues at the Business Report and the Independent
Newspapers Group as well as the country`s journalism fraternity.
