Deputy Provincial Chairperson of the ANC, Speedy Mashilo, says they had fruitful engagements with the family regarding arrangements to have a proper send-off for the late former deputy president.

Mashilo says memorial services will be taking place in all three regions of the province.

“Well, the provincial executive committee met with the family of Mabuza. We are quite happy with the process. We agreed to establish a team that the family has delegated Comrade Dez to be part of. This is the team that will be preparing, starting with the memorial services, which will commence on Thursday across our three regions so that at least people can have an opportunity to celebrate the life of Comrade DD. We agreed to prepare the funeral because this is a state funeral; we are still waiting for the state to agree with the date.”
