He added that they hoped the newly elected speaker would continue being available to the people of Pigg’s Peak despite his two crucial positions.
Vilakati added that Mabuza’s election as speaker showed that his colleagues understood the kind of a leader Mabuza is.
He said Pigg’s Peak was nothing without Mabuza.
Ever since Mabuza took office as an MP, he has been there for all the people including the elderly, the destitute and even the youth in sports.
“Mabuza is heavily involved in sports, right now he supports Pigg’s Peak Black Swallows and Pigg’s Peak Rangers.
Not only that, a lot of tournaments under Pigg’s Peak are sponsored by him,’’ Vilakati said.
Meanwhile, former Pigg’s Peak Town Council Deputy Mayor Thembisile Dlamini Ngcamphalala said it was in their prayers as residents to see Mabuza being elected Speaker of the house of assembly.
