Mngwevu died with three friends and associates after their vehicle was swept away in mid January. It was discovered last week. A survivor remains in recovery. 

The mood was mildly jovial and relaxed ahead of the memorial, but turned sombre when the service was opened with a rendition of Hyms Xhosa 200, Lizalis’idinga lakho.
