The MEC for Finance, Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Mlungisi Mvoko has expressed his shock on the murder of Dweba who was shot multiple times outside his home in Indwe Street, Southernwood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe killing of Dweba is a great loss, not only to his family and friends but to the government of the Eastern Cape and her people.

He added that they witnessed his contribution when their entity, Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency (ECPTA), partnered with him in one of his many events, Native Summer Party. He said many young people had received employment through his events and business interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is evident through messages of condolences and voices expressing deepest sense of agony on many social media platforms, that Dweba had touched so many lives.
