We have to be proactive so we can reduce and stop anything that might be negative at the funeral,” he said.“As a family, we have taken it upon ourselves to say we want to lead this course because this is a family member who has passedon.He said Shangase had never opened up to the family about death threats.

Cele, who also visited the Dambula crime scene where Shangase was gunned down, said the case had been handed to the political task team. He said he had met with the Electoral Commission of SA on Monday where they deliberated on the state of readiness for the local government elections. The chairperson of the SA National Taxi Association in uMgungundlovu region, Bheki Sokhela, led taxi bosses in paying respects to the family. He used the opportunity to distance the taxi industry from this incident.
