Deputy Transport Minister Mkhuleko Hlengwa is also in attendance, as well as the KZN Transport MEC, Siboniso Duma. The EFF's chairperson, Nontando Nolutshungu, welcomed mourners and addressed the funeral on Sunday morning and read out the names of the deceased. She said three other people who died in the accident will be buried privately. 'I greet the ministers that are amongst us, deputy ministers, mayors, councillors. I haven't forgotten to greet the survivors of the accident to my right hand side. And most importantly, to the families, our condolences.' Malema says the party's members who died in a car accident while returning from a Youth Day rally died while in pursuit of life, adding that society must stop normalising premature death. "They died while in pursuit of life. They were travelling with hope in their hearts, but the journey that should have taken them towards opportunity ended in tragedy. We must stop normalising premature death in black communities. We must stop mourning without changing the conditions that produced this moment of sorrow."
