“We have not only lost the deputy mayor but we have lost a leader who worked for the people. He was the one who was going to represent the DA in the race for the position of mayor in Mhlathuze as the local government elections are coming up. We cannot forget his contributions to the Mhlathuze Municipality and his fight for the people of Mhlathuze.”
