DA KZN leader Zwakele Mncwango has described the death of ANC KZN spokesperson Ricardo Mthembu as a sad day for the province.
Mthembu died after Covid-19 complications on Wednesday morning. He had spent several days in the intensive care unit in a Ballito hospital, on the north coast of the province.
“Today is a sad day in our province, KwaZulu-Natal, Covid-19 is the enemy as we have lost one of the leaders we served with in the provincial legislature. “Mvelase was one of the selfless leaders we had in our province, our province has suffered a huge loss in Mvelase’s passing and all we can say now is rest in peace Mvelase,” Mncwango said. He was appointed spokesperson last year after he left his position as mayor of KwaDukuza Municipality, a role he had held for eight years. He had widely been expected to be deployed as an MEC, but was instead deployed as a member of the provincial legislature.
