JOHANNESBURG - Preparations are underway to honour the late deputy president David Mabuza following his passing last week.
Mabuza passed away at a hospital in Sandton last week after a short illness.
Three memorial services are expected to be held in honour this week.
All services will take place on Thursday across Mpumalanga’s three regions, where many will gather to pay their respects.
Family Spokesperson Desmond Moela said that government will announce further funeral arrangements over the course of the week after the presidency confirmed he would be afforded a state funeral Category 2 on Saturday.
"The government of the Republic of South Africa will soon communicate how they are going to run everything. As soon as they’re ready, they’ll communicate everything to the public.
