The sibling of a murdered Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member has described his brother as a joyous and family-oriented person. The funeral service for Lebogang Madiba is underway at the suburban Serala View in Polokwane, Limpopo.
Madiba was stabbed to death outside a vote counting station in Flora Park last week. Tebogo Tlaka is in custody after he was charged for the murder.
EFF provincial leader Lawrence Mapoulo is amongst the mourners attending the funeral service. Thato Madiba says his brother will be missed.
“I’ll remember him as a very very funny guy. A very genuine guy. He was a straightforward guy, he was a very joyful person. Where he was there was always energy of love; he was a family guy; he was dedicated to family.”
