The late Hon Bains served the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) and the people of the Western Cape with dignity and distinction. She has been a Member of the NCOP since 2024 and served on the Select Committee on Education, Sciences and Creative Industries and the Select Committee on Social Services.

May her family, friends and colleagues find solace during this time of bereavement.
