Mathumbu was a resident preacher at SABC’s Munghana Lonene FM and the regional chairperson of ActionSA at Bohlabelo region. He was shot while driving from a political meeting.
Nobody has been arrested yet and the motive for the killing is still unknown.
In a statement, ActionSA president Herman Mashaba said his party was outraged about the murder of Mathumbu, labelling him “a servant of the people”.
“We know things have descended to totally unacceptable lows when we get forced to move from discussing best approaches to delivering services to our communities to fearing violent attacks. One death is always one too many, but a cold-blooded murder of a servant of the people on his way home from his many community engagements will not be tolerated. Dr Mathumbu was a dedicated community activist and leader who was fully invested in being part of the solution to healing our nation, one community at a time,” said Mashaba.
He called for the police to swiftly bring the perpetrators to book.
Mdhluli appealed to anyone with information that could assist in apprehending the suspects to contact the Crime Stop number at 08600-10111 or send information via MySAPS App.
“All information will be treated as confidential, and informants can opt to remain anonymous,” he said.
