The IFP extends its condolences to the family of Anthony Grinker, its former Member of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Parliament.

"Anthony Grinker will be remembered by the people of KwaZulu-Natal for his immense courage in publicly disclosing his HIV status and for his contribution in dispelling the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS," said Dr Lionel Mtshali MPP who leads the IFP caucus in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Parliament.

Anthony Grinker was a long-serving member of staff before he represented the IFP in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Parliament between April 2004 and September 2005.
