The country is still reeling in shock following the passing of former deputy president and former second in command of the African National Congress ANC, David Mabuza .
He passed away at a Johannesburg hospital on Thursday at the age of 64.
The Cat - as he was affectionately known to some of his comrades - was born in 1960 at Phola near Hazyview in the Mpumalanga province.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile will visit the Mabuza family home in Bryanston, north of Johannesburg, on Friday, to pass his condolences.
