# The EFF says former deputy president David Mabuza, a veteran of the liberation struggle, and a long-serving servant of the people, never placed personal ambition above the duties of his office. The 64-year-old passed away on Thursday at a hospital in Mpumalanga following a short illness. The EFF says they honoured Mabuza not only for the positions he held, but for being part of a generation of Black South Africans who stood up in the face of a violent regime.
