Inkosi Mhlabunzima Maphumulo House: We wish to express our deepest condolences to Inkosi Mabhudi Tembe and the entire Tembe Royal Family following a horrific accident that resulted in the death of his late brother’s elder son.
Prince Mxolisi Siboniso Tembe (41) died instantly with his friend Sihle Mthembu in this head-on collision that took place along the N2, between uThukela River and Dokodweni Toll Plaza.
Our highly efficient team from RTI responded to many crashes on Friday linked to the heavy rainfall.
At the time of the accident, Prince Tembe was traveling home in Umkhanyakude District Municipality.
He has joined his parents, who are deceased.
He leaves behind his fiance, two sisters and a younger brother.
We ask God to be with the Tembe Royal Family and Mthembu family.
Equally, we express our heartfelt sympathies to the families of five people who died in another horrific accident that took place in Cato Ridge this morning.
We wish families and friends of the deceased courage during this difficult period of mourning.
Finally, we respectfully pray to God to shine his face upon those who were injured.
Ends
