The postponement was announced in a letter sent to invitees by the President and CEO of the Amandla Institute, Prof Adebayo Olukoshi, on Monday.

A proposed fireside chat scheduled to hold on June 15 has been postponed indefinitely following the death of Dr Fezeka Mabona, the younger sister of former South African President, Thabo Mbeki.

The postponement was announced in a letter sent to invitees by the President and CEO of the Amandla Institute, Prof Adebayo Olukoshi, on Monday.

According to the letter, Mbeki, who was expected to serve as the keynote speaker at the event, suffered a personal bereavement over the weekend and subsequently cancelled his planned trip to Nigeria.
