Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>One of Deputy President David Mabuza\u2019s bodyguards died after Mabuza\u2019s convoy was involved in an accident on Sunday at around 10:30.<\/p>\n

The motorcade was transporting Mabuza from Mpumalanga to Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n

According to police spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe, a tyre burst on one of the back-up vehicles, causing the vehicle to overturn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree members who were in the vehicle sustained serious injuries. One of these members was declared dead at the scene while the other two were transported to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention,\u201d said Mathe.<\/p>\n

News24 understands that the vehicle\u2019s driver died.<\/p>\n

The SAPS employee health and wellness unit was notifying the victim\u2019s families, she added.<\/p>\n

National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola sent his condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased member, and wished the injured members a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n

A case of culpable homicide has been registered at the Middelburg police station.<\/p>\n

Mabuza’s car was not affected, and he is uninjured.<\/p>\n

In June, Mabuza\u2019s motorcade was involved in an accident on the N1 in Midrand. He was not in any of the vehicles at the time.<\/p>\n

Two of his bodyguards sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
