Tributes poured in on social media for fallen Dr Shaheed Mugjenkar who passed away during a drag racing event held at the Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 16 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The much-loved doctor, who held a practice in Retreat, died after he reportedly lost control of his vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Motor Sport South Africa (MSA) said Mugjenkar lost control of his Opel Kadett during a drag racing event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe MSA Drag Racing event at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 16 July was stopped after a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr Shaheed Mugjenkar lost control of his Opel Kadett drag racing car after the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe car veered across the drag strip and rolled over several times before hitting the safety barriers, ultimately landing on its side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement further added that marshals and medical personnel immediately attended to Mugjenkar who was later taken to hospital in a critical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSadly, we have since been informed by hospital staff that he succumbed to his injuries later during the day with his family present at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was a member of the club and a regular competitor for a number of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Western Province Motor Club extends its heartfelt condolences to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this sad time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact cause of the crash will be investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile on social media, residents of Retreat and Steenberg remembered the doctor for his kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terri Lucas from the 7945 community group wrote: \u201cToday the entire 7945 mourns the death of this amazing, kind-hearted man. To many of us, he was our doctor since we were little, since he opened his practice many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have served us with dignity Dr Mugjenkar, cared for us in ways that many other doctors couldn\u2019t, you understood the need this community had for a cheap, affordable doctor and you did it with so much care . . . you were always so fond of my son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday my heart breaks for your wife and children and I pray that they find solace in knowing that you were truly beloved by all your patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would literally take a taxi to Retreat to see you rather than go to any other doctor. I have had the pleasure of being your patient since I was 10 years old and I am broken by your death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donna Amani Robinson commented: \u201cThe only person who made me feel comfortable enough to give a grown woman an injection. I am really sad that an amazing man, someone who you can talk to as a friend and a medical professional, has died. May his soul rest in peace. You will definitely be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracy-lee Jacobs wrote that Dr Mugjenkar fulfilled his purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has been a part of some of my greatest moments. What a tragedy to all who knew him. May the family find comfort that he truly fulfilled his purpose here on earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMay he be granted a high place in heaven and may this be a reminder to us left behind to continue to live according to our purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimmi Daniels wrote that the community lost a gem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Retreat community has lost a gem of a doctor. May your soul rest in peace and condolences to your loved ones.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
