Taung Greater Local Municipality is mourning the death of its Chief Whip Lepodisi Tong who passed away this morning. Even though the details amid Tong’s death are sketchy, he was allegedly admitted at hospital some time ago.

Ward councillor at Baga-Maidi, Lekgotlha Menyatso said he is affected by Tong’s death. He said the ruling party has lost an icon in Tong and this is a bitter pill to swallow.

“We are really affected by Tong’s death. He played an integral part and left a big margin that will not be easy to fill” Menyatso said.

The messages of support continue to pour in as tribute to Tong’s family.
