JOHANNESBURG – The late Vice President of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature, Mluleki Ndobe, will be buried today.
Relatives, friends, and delegates from various political structures have gathered at Ndobe’s ancestral home, uMzimkhulu, to pay their last respects.
President Cyril Ramaphosa granted Ndobe an official category two state funeral.
Ndobe’s body was found last Friday at his Durban home and he is believed to have died by suicide.
He had also been battling prostate cancer and was receiving chemotherapy treatment.
Ndobe’s wife, Nobuhle, said her husband dedicated his life to serving others. “You are the smartest human being I have ever met in my life. It’s sad because you felt that society didn’t use you properly. All I know is that I understand the pain you endured. “
Meanwhile, Velenkosini Hlabisa of the IFP described Ndobe as an exemplary leader.
“When we received news of the passing of the Vice President, the Honorable Ndobe, we were all shocked, saddened and incredulous. We know that for you as a family, you lost a pillar, a source of inspiration and a refuge for the family ”.
While enthusiastic tributes have been paid to Ndobe since his passing, his legacy has been unable to escape previous allegations in connection with the murder of former ANC Youth League secretary Sindiso Magaqa.
