Sedibeng Mayor Busisiwe Modisakeng (60) dies
Sedibeng Mayor Busisiwe Modisakeng has died at the age of 60.
Modisakeng, who passed away on Friday, has been mayor since 2016.
Gauteng Cooperative Governance MEC Lebogang Maile says Modisakeng died following a short illness.
“Councillor Modisakeng was amongst the longest-serving public representatives in local government. She occupied various leadership positions, first as Mayor of Lesedi Local Municipality for three successive terms, Speaker of Sedibeng District Municipality, and most recently, Mayor of Sedibeng District Municipality.”
Maile has described her death as a loss to the residents of Gauteng and Sedibeng.
“Mayor Modisakeng passes away at a time where the Gauteng government is working hard to strengthen co-operative governance in order to expedite service delivery in communities.
“Her sudden demise robs the people of Gauteng, and Sedibeng in particular, of a committed servant of the people, who did her utmost in pursuit of service delivery improvement.”
