WWF mourns the passing of Jabu Mabuza

Posted on June, 18 2021

It is with great sadness that WWF learnt of the sudden passing of Mr Jabu Mabuza, an admired business leader and bold entrepreneur. He was a renowned champion of black business and a stellar example of corporate leadership in South Africa.

Among many of his career moments and achievements, Mr Mabuza served as the president of Business Unity South Africa and as the chair of Business Leadership South Africa. His prominence and influence on both the South African economy and the local business landscape were nothing short of impressive.

Mr Mabuza was also a longstanding and valued trustee of WWF South Africa since 1999. We are grateful for his incredible commitment and 22 years of service. We would like to publicly acknowledge the important behind-the-scenes role he played in forging vital connections between WWF and the business community at large.

We take this opportunity to reflect on what a wonderful man he was and all that he did for our country, and to pass our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Mabuza family.

Former Chairman of Eskom, Jabu Mabuza, has died following complications from COVID-19.
