    I am saddened to hear this news.
    A few days agao I bid farewell to Minsiter Qasim, when he attended an
    oil conference in Cape Town.

    He seemed in good health and looked well.

    We all return to Allah and may his sould rest in peace and may his family experience fortitude at this time of loss.
