“Like all of us, he [Matongo] was looking forward to the forthcoming election, and we saw in person today that he had put his heart and soul into mobilising the people of the city to make their voices heard on 1 November,” Ramaphosa said.
“The time we spent together has been rendered a priceless treasure given his untimely and traumatic passing. May his soul rest in peace."Newly elected City of Johannesburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo was involved in a car accidenton Saturday. Picture: Bhekikhaya Mabaso/African News Agency ANC JHB Regional Secretary Dada Morero confirmed that Matongo was killed in a car crash and that his bodyguards were in hospital.
“We can confirm that Matongo was killed in a horrific accident. A Nissan bakkie was trying to avoid a pedestrian then went into the mayor's car and an accident happened,” said Morero. “He was enroute to his family home in KwaZulu-Natal after the campaign trail. The drivers as we speak are critical in hospital. An official statement with all the details will be released by the ANC later tonight or tomorrow morning.”On Twitter, Economic Freedom Fighters Leader, Julius Malema, posted a screenshot of one of his previous Tweets in which he defended Matongo saying he grew up with him, adding: “I love you my brother, please greet our friend Castro More.
“We can confirm that Matongo was killed in a horrific accident. A Nissan bakkie was trying to avoid a pedestrian then went into the mayor's car and an accident happened,” said Morero. Suspect to be charged for this homocide is the pedestrian. Why are you doing on the highway?
So heartbreaking 💔😢May his soul rest in peace.
Well, I would disagree with him on this one. The moment he ascended to a position giving him access to the trough those who were slithering around him started plotting against him.
I truly devastated at Jolidee's tragic death! My love and condolences go to his family, friends and colleagues ! 💔💔
I think the ancestors of the ANC are unhappy with how comrade Leadership is doing things
Lol
Thanks for been a God sent to my life I’m forever grateful and will forever be proud of you anywhere, people like you are rare LindaStouffes
Nothing is right with this president of this country
