He also commended Mabuza for his role in promoting economic development, job creation, and land reform.
“David Mabuza was a visionary leader who had a clear understanding of the challenges facing our country. He was a true patriot who worked selflessly for the betterment of our nation,” said Gardee. “His legacy will continue to inspire us to work towards achieving a more equal and just society.”
In conclusion, Gardee called on all South Africans to honor Mabuza’s memory by continuing to work towards the ideals of peace and unity, which he tirelessly advocated for.
