South African Minister, Collins Chabane
Hours before his death in a car smash, Public Service and Administration Minister Collins Chabane had warned his colleagues to avoid long-distance travel and the heightened risk of an accident that went with it.
Travelling with the two members of the police’s VIP protection unit – Lesiba Sekele and Lawrence Lentsoane – Chabane was killed early one March morning when his car and a truck collided on the N1 freeway between Polokwane and Mokopane, in Limpopo.
Henyekane was travelling from a party in Qwa-Qwa at about 1am in a VW Cross Polo with friends and a teammate in two separate cars when he met his sudden death.
The two cars stopped at the side of the road and the passengers got out for a pee and, according to the Daily Sun, Henyekane got back into the car but his team member at Ea Lla Koto, Bokang Hlone, said he would rather go in the other car.
Businessman and music promoter Prosper Mkwaiwa succumbed to death after complaining of a fever in February.
Mkwaiwa was in the company of friends, who included fellow Mpumalanga based entrepreneur, Jacob Mnisi.
Mnisi said Mkwaiwa was rushed to hospital after complaining about feeling hot.
“Prosper complained about high fever and he was taken to the clinic. He died on his way to the clinic,” said Mnisi.
