One of the country’s hardest working politicians has ‘collapsed’ from being overworked

Why can’t everyone be like Mpumulanga’s new Premier, David Mabuza, who’s technically been doing all the work of a premier since his time working for Matthews Phosa.

The jet-setting Premier, who’s recently been to China, Angola and Italy is resting at home after reportedly collapsing due to fatigue.

Now, while many Premiers claim that their travels overseas are for work, Mabuza’s work actually speaks for itself. According to News24, his trip to Italy alone secured R10 billion worth of infrastructure development in Mpumulanga.

While Mabuza’s spokesperson has confirmed that he is at home, he would not say if the Premier had actually collapsed.

“He is home resting and people will see him on Thursday when he will answer questions in Nkomazi during the Taking the Legislature to the People.”

This is not the first time Mabuza has had issues caused firing on all cylinders for too long; while he was serving under Mpumulanga’s previous Premier, Matthews Phosa, he was so overworked that he collapsed in the middle of a meeting once.

Can someone get this guy a Bar One or a KitKat please, South Africa needs as many politicians of his kind as it can get.
