Pretoria - The Young Communist League of South Africa in Gauteng on Thursday said it was “angered, infuriated and saddened” by the brutal murder of former Tshwane ANC deputy chairperson Mapiti Matsena, who was fatally stabbed in the chest by an unknown assailant in his home in Doornpoort, north of Pretoria.
“Comrade Mapiti was a very dependable foot soldier of the congress movement, having served in the different structures of the ANC in Tshwane. When he served as a deputy chairperson of the ANC in Tshwane he fought bitterly to unite the ANC and its alliance in the region.” “His passing is not only tragic to his family, comrades and friends, but to the movement at large. The YCLSA urges that this tragic incident that led to Comrade Mapiti's untimely death be urgently investigated. We are calling for a thorough investigation of this attack and that the perpetrator be brought to book,” said Morifi.
The YCLSA sent “heartfelt condolences” to Matsena’s family and relatives, the ANC and the democratic movement in general. The national commissioner of the South African Police Service , general Khehla John Sitole, on Thursday tasked Gauteng SAPS management to immediately mobilise the 72-hour activation plan following the murder.
