The IFP's Deputy National Chairperson, Mr Velaphi Ndlovu MP, today expressed the sorrow of his Party on hearing of the death of Cllr Lucky Mzwamandla Zondo (1975 - 2005) who died in hospital last night after being shot in a drive-by shooting on Tuesday, 27th September 2005. Induna Biyela was also killed during the same incident.

Mr Ndlovu said:

"It is with great sadness that the IFP has learnt of the death of our young comrade and friend Cllr Lucky Zondo. He was a young man who always put the good of the community before himself. Lucky epitomised the true meaning of excellent service, both in his community as well as in the IFP. His absence will be keenly felt."

"We send our sincere condolences to his wife and his family, friends and all IFP comrades. The IFP will be praying for his family and friends. God bless and comfort you in this sad hour of need. We stand together with you."

"We encourage the police to work quickly and surely to capture those who are responsible for this travesty."
