"He was apparently seen at the local bar with all the skippers the night before, claiming that his last wish was to be on the sea for a couple of hours with his family as he is allegedly terminally ill," Matambu's niece, Candice Eilertsen, told News24.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
