Family spokesperson Tshegetso Boekhouer said the accident happened around 3am when the couple was driving home from an after tears party.
One of the funerals they attended was that of former Naledi municipal speaker Neo Mathibe.
Municipal manager Modisenyane Segapo said Vryburg had lost Schalk at a crucial time when the ANC was relying on him to be the first person to win ward 7, which was dominated by white people.Segapo said Schalk rose to political prominence on July 29 1983 while he was a student at Bopaganang High School in the town.
“He was arrested, found guilty and punished,” he said, adding that at that time politics in Vryburg changed.He became an ANC councillor in 1995, a position he kept until his death.In 2006 he joined the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati district municipality as a member of the mayoral committee responsible for technical services and infrastructure. “He was just few weeks away from finishing his term,” Segapo said.
