MDC-T Joburg mourns Vuyani Mahlangu

Our Condolences goes to the Mahlangu family, MDC T national chairman Lovemore Moyo, our Party President DR Morgan Richard Tsvangirai and the MDC T family as a whole, following the untimely passing of Vuyani Mahlangu.

The MDC T structure in Johannesburg was deeply devastated by the sad news of the passing on of one of our great revolutionalist, Vuyani Mahlangu. Very devastating, because the news came barely few hours, after our Johannesburg District members held a prayer meeting on the 26th of October 2014, for a speedy recovery of Mahlangu, National Chair Moyo and others who were involved in that horrific accident a week ago.

The prayer meeting was also used as a fundraising event, to assist in paying Vuyani Mahlangu's hospital bills. The only victim of the accident who had remained critical in the hospital. I am proud to announce that our members responded very positively to the call to assist our late hero. Members were really concerned about Mahlangu's health and felt his pains. Few hours after such an emotional event, Vuyani Mahlangu couldn't hold anymore, and the unexpected news came that he was no more. The news left the whole Johannesburg district devastated.

Vuyani Mahlangu was a personal aide, a driver to our Party National Chairman, Lovemore Moyo. He was the one driving the car, a week ago that was involved in that horrific accident that nearly cost the life of our party National Chairman, and Mahlangu was left in a critical condition ever since.

He is a victim of a failed State. A victim of a notorious road, that has claimed many precious lives, claimed the life of our mother, Susan Tsvangirai. Almost claimed our President Tsvangirai's life. Now we almost lost that of our National Chairman. Harare - Masvingo road. A road that the inept government of Robert Mugabe have known since Independence, but done absolutely nothing to redress.

A victim of a collapsed health system. Zimbabwe is losing thousands of precious lives everyday unnecessarily, as a result of the poor state of our health sector. A narration of Mahlangu's ordeal at the hospital that he was admitted, will left many in tears. Imagine a health institute failing to provide basic things like a stretcher bed to assist a critically injured patient.

Millions of our impoverished people, risk losing their lives unnecessarily as a result of poor governance of our health sector. A failed Government, like that of Zanu pf equates to a weapon of mass destruction.

Hamba Kahle Vuyani Mahlangu.
Zorora murugare.
Rest in Peace our dear leader.
