AILING MODISE ‘STABLE’

AILING former Defence Minister Joe Modise (72) was in a stable condition on Sunday, and is being treated for a malignant disease at his home. The family has requested that no visits should be paid at this stage to give him time to recover. It has been reported that Modise is ailing from terminal cancer. The African National Congress on Saturday congratulated their stalwart for being awarded the Order of the Star of South Africa for meritorious service during the week. – Sapa
