A tribute by Magaqa’s wife Gugu was read out. In it she said: “You were far amazing than anything I have ever prayed for. I truly believe that God placed us in each other’s lives.  He helped us find each other.

“I know as we were navigating this adventure together, we were learning every single day to love like God.”

Watch the the tribute below

A close friend of Magaqa, Less Stuta gave a stirring speech in which he explained how Magaqa had wanted to expose tender corruption in the municipality.

Now that the truth is out in the open, what needs to be done?
Magaqa died for fighting corruption at Umzimkhulu.
