The African National Congress (ANC) has described its late deputy president, David Mabuza, as a comrade who dedicated his entire life to the organisation.

Mabuza died at a hospital in Sandton last Thursday at the age of 64.

ANC leaders visited his home in Barberton, Mpumalanga.

In the 2017 ANC national elective conference at Nasrec, David Dabede Mabuza was instrumental in wrestling the party away from the so-called RET faction to the renewal one led by Cyril Ramaphosa. 

In 2023, with more than a year left of his term, Mabuza resigned as the state deputy president to make way to make way for the ANC's newly elected deputy at the time, Paul Mashatile. 

ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said that Mabuza always put the party ahead of everything.

Mbalula said that Mabuza always campaigned for the ANC and would fund some of its programmes from his own pockets.

The ANC said it had planned a number of events and memorial lectures to honour Nabuza’s life.
