‘SWEET MDU’ DIED IN PEACE - REV GRACE MASILELA

PIGG’S PEAK – Mduduzi Magongo, the former Principal Secretary (PS) of the Ministry of Home Affairs, died a born-again man.

This was revealed by Pastor Grace Masilela from the Mbabane Nazarene Church during the vigil held in honour of the late PS. She said Magongo died a member of the Nazarene church and had left the world in peace and in the conscious feeling of approbation after he devoted his life to Christ.

Magongo died at the age 67 while undergoing treatment at the Mbabane Government Hospital after he was diagnosed with Renal Dysfunction. This is a condition of impaired kidney function in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter metabolic wastes from the blood and this depends on the cause being blood loss in the urine or protein loss in the urine.
Pastor Masilela said she sympathised with those who knew the late PS’s kind of lifestyle as a reformed man before meeting his death. “I would say this repeatedly that drinking buddies of the late PS are in trouble if they continue with their wayward behavior because he died a born-again man.

“The PS died a peaceful man as he had devoted his life to Christ,” she said.
Masilela said when a person repents, there is a transformation of his or her way of life.
Her words were echoed by his younger brother who identified himself as Babe Magongo who said it is a known fact that his elder brother would at times imbibe in the waters of immortality – “Nakadlile bengimekhuta ngekutsi angashayeli adzakiwe ngoba siyati ke kutsi umuntfu lomdzala uyoma.”

Magongo further said his brother’s illness was kept a secret from him and he only got to hear about it through the grapevine.
Magongo warned family members to refrain from using alcohol as this may result to internal conflicts. Members of this family should follow a legacy that was left by their late biological father, Herald Magongo.
The late PS’s funeral was attended by a large number of people which included government officials, former Members of Parliament (MPs) in Lobamba Inkhundla MP Marwick Khumalo, Robert Magongo, Sigayoyo Magongo and Dr Vusi Magagula to name a few.
