UNKNOWN DECEASED MAN IDENTIFIED BY FAMILY
We are deeply humbled to confirm that the man who sadly collapsed and passed away at Busy Corner Mall earlier this week has been identified by his family as Mthandeni Makhubela from Umnonjaneni.
We received the following message from a family member:
“Good day KAE News. Thank you so much for sharing the news. The man pictured was our brother, Mthandeni Makhubela. The family has reached out to Busy Corner Mall. Thank you once again to the community for sharing the news. God bless you all.”
We extend our sincere condolences to the Makhubela family and thank the community of KAE for sharing the information and showing compassion during this time.
⚠️ NOTE ON PUBLICATION ETHICS:
Some readers raised concerns about the display of the deceased’s face. We acknowledge and respect these concerns.
Please note that according to the Press Code “The media shall exercise care and consideration in matters involving the private lives and dignity of individuals…The dignity and privacy of the deceased should be respected unless a legitimate public interest outweighs this right.”
We take this guidance seriously and are committed to handling such cases with sensitivity and respect. When necessary, we will blur or withhold images of deceased individuals in line with journalistic ethics, especially where families have not yet been notified.
Thank you again to our readers for your understanding and support.
