Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has expressed condolences to the family of Sarah Baartman District Municipality Mayor, Councillor Mzimkhulu \u2018Scara\u2019 Njadayi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Minister said Njadayi\u2019s death had come as a shock, considering he had been elected into the position on 24 November 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to reports, the Mayor died after collapsing at the municipal premises in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said the Mayor had gladly accepted the responsibility with determination.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cLike a true soldier, he passed away with his boots on, in the first council meeting where important decisions are taken to better the work of local government.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is hard to come to terms with such a loss when we were still expecting a lot from him in terms of fighting poverty, increasing the pace of job creation, and to giving meaning and effect to local economic development programmes,\u201d said the Minister.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Minister and the department sent condolences to the Njadayi family, his friends and colleagues as well as the people of the district.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
