Condolences for Green Army member

Gauteng MEC for Social Development, Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment, Mbali Hlophe has expressed deep grief at the passing of a worker that was fatally shot while on duty at Jabulani Hostel in Johannesburg.

Mduduzi Mbense (38) was a member of the department’s Green Army – an Expanded Public Works Programme established to deal with waste management and greening through clean-ups of illegal dumping and litter-picking in communities, main roads, and open spaces.

Mbense was shot on Friday as he was leading a team of the Green Army at the hostel where he worked and resided.

The MEC has called on the police to leave no stone unturned in order to bring to book the perpetrator of the crime.

“We are gravely devastated for this untimely loss. I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues. May you all find strength and comfort during this difficult time,” she said. –SAnews.gov.za
