Mdi died after the car he was travelling in with Makgoe and the driver collided with three cows on the N1 outside Winburg, a small mixed-farming town in the Free State, at about 12.30am.
Mdi was later moved to the in-transit VIP protection security services where he served as a close protector to Makgoe from 2010 until his death.
Mathe said the driver of the car has been identified as W/O Richard Nkopane, who is in a critical condition in hospital. Acting national police commissioner Lt-Gen Tebello Mosikili sent her condolences to Mdi’s family, friends and colleagues, and wished Nkopane a speedy recovery. “The death of Warrant Officer Mdi is a great blow to the protection and security services division and the SAPS at large. He has been described by his immediate commander as a quiet, dedicated, committed and disciplined member.
"We have mobilised our employee health and wellness experts to provide psychosocial services to the family and colleagues of the deceased member. We are also wishing Warrant Officer Nkopane who is in a critical condition a speedy recovery. Our thoughts are also with his family,’’ said Mosikili. [email protected]
