Ramaphosa recalls time spent with late Joburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo as 'priceless treasure'
Earlier in the day he had joined ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa, Gauteng premier David Makhura and ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula on the campaign trail.
“It is hard to comprehend this tragedy, given the vitality and passion with which Mayor Matongo interacted with me and residents of Soweto so shortly before his death. Nothing could prepare any of us for this sudden loss, which has deprived our nation’s economic centre of its second Executive Mayor in two months.”
