Chief Mavhunga (68) passes away

 

The community of Ha-Mavhunga in Nzhelele is in mourning, following the death of Vhamusanda Lugisani Adam Mulatedzi Mavhunga (68).

The chief died after a short illness last Monday.

According to members of the community, he was a dedicated leader, who ensured development. He ruled the Mavhunga community for more than 25 years.

Vha-Venda Vho-Ananias Mavhunga described him as modest and compassionate, with the desire to help his people and uplift his community. During his reign, community councils such as the traditional council and Sanco committees fully co-operated and ensured development in the community. “He died while the community council was in the process of registering a land claim.”

Vha-Venda said the community had lost a great leader like no other. He said Mavhunga was a leader who understood the needs of his people.

In spite of leading a community, Vho Mavhunga was a full-time land surveyor. He worked with several companies and had surveyed many roads in Gauteng and even in Namibia and Botswana. He also initiated his own, independent land-surveying company.

Vhamusanda Vho-Mavhunga is survived by five children and his sister. He will be buried at the community’s local cemetery tomorrow (Saturday). The event will start at 08:00.
