Deputy Mayor of Richmond Municipality slayed
The Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), honourable Des van Rooyen has joined South Africans from all walks of life in paying tribute to the late Deputy Mayor of Richmond municipality in KwaZulu-Natal, Thandazile Phoswa.
The Minister conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the family and colleagues of the late deputy mayor. “It is the passing of such committed servants of our people that leaves us poorer in our determination to deliver services to the people. We hope that her passing will motivate all of us to keep her legacy alive by ensuring that we deliver to our communities as expected”, said Minister.
Some few weeks ago, we reacted shockingly to the assassination of the Municipal Manager S'bu Sithole in the same Municipality. We need to ensure that the passing of the two colleagues motivates us to do more and continue the good work they had started in the Municipality.
We urge communities to work with law enforcement agencies to bring all these cases to finality.
