The family spokesperson Peter Maphanga says the family is devastated.
“We are crying, but there’s nothing we can do. The wife is in pain, the children, he had two kids 10 and four, the small one doesn’t even know what is happening. Unfortunately we are still waiting for the police, they haven’t come to us since the incident happened. I went to the police station on Wednesday asking, they said the case is no more in their hands, it is at national.”
Meanwhile, the ANC in Ehlanzeni region member Lydia Moroane has called on the police to arrest the perpetrators who killed Mamba.
“I don’t know the reason why one can kill a deputy chair of a branch who is not even a candidate on the election, at night when everybody has voted and the stations are closed. There’s no change of results that can happen and our expectation is that police must do their work.”
