Mangaung EFF member laid to rest─── KATLEHO MORAPELA 07:21 Thu, 19 Nov 2020
A well-known EFF member in the Mangaung Region, Thabo Lekhu, will be laid to rest on Thursday.
Lekhu, who had served in various portfolios within the party, succumbed to Covid-19 complications last weekend. He will be laid to rest this morning in his hometown of Warrenton in the Northern Cape.
Tributes for the Lekhu family have been pouring in throughout the week, with many of his fellow EFF members in both the Free State and the Northern Cape describing him as a selfless leader, who was hard-working and served the party with due diligence.
Hundreds of party members who gathered at the Bram Fischer Municipal Building in Bloemfontein for his memorial service earlier this week heard how Lekhu always prioritised his community and fought for equality.
The 45-year-old is survived by his wife, two children, and mother.
