The government extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Athule Mazula, a young, bright and optimistic journalist.

Mazula was a community media worker at Cape Town TV and worked closely with the Cape Town Daily News at the time of her death. Community media is essential in providing community oriented content that is diverse and serves communities in rural areas and small towns.

Acting Director-General of the Government Communication and Information System, Michael Currin, said, “Athule Mazula’s untimely passing is a great loss to the journalism fraternity because she was still young and had a great potential to contribute to the industry even more”.

Government conveys its profound condolences to Athule’s family, friends and colleagues.
