President Cyril Ramaphosa has declared a special official funeral Category 2 for esteemed business leader Dr Richard Maponya, who passed away on Monday at the age of 99.

He will be buried on January 14, in Johannesburg.

Maponya was a founding member of the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and chairperson of the African Chamber of Commerce.

He actively sought to capacitate nascent black businesses and lent his support to entrepreneurship ventures, particularly in Soweto.

Ramaphosa stated that the Maponya name was a veritable institution in South Africa’s public life, standing for excellence and inspiring generations of South Africans.
