North West Premier Thandi Modise who was on route to Marikana had to postpone her visit the family of ANC PR Councillor Pauline Mosuhle Magwana to convey the condolences of the provincial government after being advised of the unavailability of the family on Thursday afternoon.
North West Premier Thandi Modise is to visit the family of Marikana ANC PR Councillor Pauline Mosuhle Magwana to convey the condolences of the provincial government at around 16h00 this afternoon.
The Councillor who served in Madibeng Local Municipality reportedly sustained rubber bullets wounds during a raid conducted by police at Nkaneng informal settlements on Saturday.
Premier Modise had earlier expressed a wish to convey our condolences to the family on the loss of their loved ones and to the community on the loss of their loyal servant who was very helpful throughout the conflict and stood by the ANC branch and did not desert the miners.
The tragic news of the councillor’s untimely death was conveyed to Premier Modise by the Executive Mayor of Bojanala Platinum District, Councillor Louis Diremelo who accompanied members of her family to the government mortuary to identify her body.
While relevant authorities investigate the councillors’ alleged shooting and subsequent death, Modise has appealed that while aouthorities investigate the councillor’s alleged shooting and subsequent death, members of the public should remain calm and speculate on the cause of her death as a post-mortem will confirm the actual cause of her death.
The Premier said that government has activated support for the family support as it has done with all other victims of the Marikana tragedy.
