A well-known traffic officer at the Makhado Municipality, Mr Abraham Makganyoga (52), passed away in the Polokwane MediClinic after a short illness on Sunday.
He was described by his colleagues as a hardworking, dedicated, loving and respectful traffic officer. The mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, expressed his condolences to the family and said that the municipality would sorely miss his contribution to service delivery in the province.
He was appointed as traffic officer in 1997.
Mr Makganyoga's daughter, Evah, said that she would remember her father as a loving person who was always smiling. "He was a wonderful gift to the family," she said. He is survived by his wife and two children. He will be buried tomorrow (Saturday) at the Ramahantsha graveyard. The service will be held at Tshiozwi at 06:00.
