Life and career edit
Bikitsha was born on 22 August 1935.[1] He was elected to the National Assembly in South Africa's first post-apartheid elections in 1994.[2] Although he stood for re-election in 1999, he was ranked 46th on the NP's regional party list for Gauteng and therefore failed to gain re-election.[1] He worked as a businessman until his death on 18 June 2015 at his workplace in De Deur in Gauteng's Vaal Triangle.[3]
