MKATUS DEATH SHOCKS EASTERN CAPE GOVERNMENT

The Eastern Cape Government through the MEC for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Mrs Nosimo Balindlela joins thousands in mourning the 
death of one its illustrious sporting sons Peter Mkatu.

Typical of the history of Blacks and Africans in particular, Peter Mkatu has become one in a long list of unsung heroes who displayed their 
sporting talents in mostly barren and grassless fields in pursuit not of glory, but of a peoples freedom. As a result of this nobel stand, 
his outstanding rugby talent could not be seen on a TV screen.

To those who were fortunate enough to see him, he was an ascute and shrewd operator, a shinning star, Mrs Balindlela said.

Our condolences go to his family and friends, more especially Port Elizabeth community.

May his soul rest in peace.
