Family spokesperson Khulekani Mthethwa said arrangements were progressing. His comments come as ANC leaders visited the family at their KwaMbonambi, KwaZulu-Natal home yesterday to offer condolences.

“We witness that everyone is in good spirits, and all the ANC leaders are coming in numbers in this time of grief, and to let us know what we should expect from now on,” he said.
