The African National Congress (ANC) secretary for the Tlokwe sub-region died on Thursday, the municipality said.
Mpho Badirwang (36) also served in the North West provincial government.
”The office of the executive mayor of Tlokwe municipality, Maphetle Maphetle, wishes to send his deep felt condolences to the family, friends and comrades of comrade Badirwang,” mayoral spokesperson Kaizer Mohau said on Friday.
Apart from serving as ANC sub-regional secretary, Badirwang was a manager in the office of the council whip.
”Badirwang suffered a long illness that took his life. In him we lost a selfless revolutionary and above all a dedicated civil servant,” said Mohau. — Sapa
