Hundreds mourn former Knysna mayor Aubrey Tsengwa at funeral service
He was gunned down near Concordia, in the Western Cape town earlier this month.
Dozens of people gathered for the funeral of former Knysna mayor and Ward 8 councillor, Aubrey Tsengwa. He was murdered with a firearm near Concordia, a city in South Africa's Western Cape province, earlier this month. Since his death, three individuals have appeared in court as suspects. Two additional people were shot dead one day after Tsengwa's killing.
Among the victims were Mandla Matiwane, a former ANC councillor, and Mandla Tyololo, a taxi owner. A police officer also lost his life in a gun battle with a suspect connected to the case, which ended with both the suspect and the police officer losing their lives. Notable figures from the ANC National Executive Committee have come to pay their respects at Tsengwa's funeral service, which took place at Concordia High School.
Tsengwa had been returning home when he was targeted and killed in the Joodsekamp area on the previous Wednesday.
