Update: uThukela District Mayor’s message on the passing of “Daddy”

uThukela Mayor Dudu Mazibuko had the following to say regarding the death of 35-year-old Comrade Njabulo ‘Mlilo’ Hadebe:

Sorrow fills our hearts in this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal.

Njabulo Hadebe has silently closed the door of life and departed from us. Our lives will be empty in the areas that he had brightened for us.

Albert Einstein said, “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”

In one word, Njabulo was a man who gave. He gave much to his work. Here was a life that demand notice… a life that exemplified brilliance… a life that inspired emulation… a life that burned so that others’ paths were lit.

“Daddy”, as he was affectionately known by many, was a strategic thinker, a visionary who was brilliant, innovative and creative. As such, he contributed much to the development of his business.

He generously gave us his knowledge, his expertise, his skills. Njabulo was living proof of how fine a person can be.

He was also a good friend to many of us and a great cadre. The character of the life he lived might be summed up in a few words: he was sincere, he was earnest, he was loyal and fun-loving.

He had a beautiful smile, a sense of humour and a gentle demeanour.

Daddy was bright, logical and systematic in his thinking. He was always willing to share his ideas and information.

He was passionately interested in business matters. Many of us found him to be a splendid person of great intellect and big heart. By his death, all the people who knew him will miss a highly intelligent, vibrant individual with a rare friendliness and charm of personality.

Njabulo was a genuinely warm and wonderful individual – one we will miss greatly.

Our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know him.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
