Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government was shocked by the death of Minister of Public Service and Administration Collins Chabane in a car accident on Sunday.
“We are shocked by this news and as the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government, we wish his family, friends and Cabinet colleagues strength during this difficult time,” said premier Senzo Mchunu.
He was a true democrat who gave his life to the service of our nation.
