A Promising Future Cut Short

Snegugu Thobeka Myeni, originally from KwaZulu-Natal, was a final-year medical student studying in the Philippines. The medical student, aspiring to become a neurosurgeon, had dedicated her life to the service of her fellow South Africans. Tragically, her life was cut short on July 10, 2023, at the airport while she was preparing to return to South Africa.

The devastating news of Snegugu’s passing reached her family, who were left with the burden of repatriating her body from the Philippines to South Africa. A heartfelt plea was made on social media to raise funds for this purpose, and the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government stepped in to offer support and assistance.

According to a statement by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government, Snegugu’s mother, Lindiwe Myeni, emotionally revealed, “Snegugu Myeni was studying to become a Neurosurgeon, and it was her lifelong dream to help and serve the people of South Africa.”

Aiding the Bereaved Family

Acting on the direction of Acting Premier Nomagugu Simelane, Dr. Nonhlanhla Mkhize, the Director-General of KwaZulu-Natal, reached out to the grieving Myeni family in Utrecht to offer the necessary assistance and support. The government delegation also visited the family to discuss funeral arrangements and understand the family’s domestic circumstances.

In response to the tragic event, Acting Premier Nomagugu Simelane expressed her heartfelt condolences and stated, “We know that with each passing day, the waiting becomes more difficult, especially for the Myeni family, and we will work tirelessly to ensure that the mortal remains of their beloved daughter are brought back home for burial by the family, friends, and community.”

Final Preparations for Repatriation

The KwaZulu-Natal government has been actively working on a comprehensive repatriation plan to bring Snegugu Myeni’s mortal remains back to South Africa for a dignified burial. The process of repatriation has already commenced, with the mortal remains expected to arrive at OR Tambo International Airport on July 22, 2023.
