The ANC in Tshwane on Friday mourned the passing of Mapiti Matsena, the former deputy ANC regional chairperson, calling for calm among its members while waiting for justice to be served.
“It is with great sadness that we received the news of the brutal killing of Cde Mapiti David Matsena . His passing leaves the ANC and the mass democratic movement poorer for losing a repository of institutional memory in Greater Tshwane and Gauteng at large,” said Eugene Modise, ANC Tshwane regional secretary.
Matsena was fatally stabbed in the chest by an assailant in his home in Doornpoort, north of Pretoria. The ANC in Tshwane said Matsena was also an activist against gender-based violence. "We have the full confidence that the full might of the law will be discharged to put this criminal behind bars and justice to be served,” said Modise.
