The late Acting Director-General in the Gauteng Office of the Premier, Thabo Masebe, has been described as an authentic communicator when dealing with the media.

On Friday, SANEF and Government Communications held his memorial service in Pretoria.  Masebe passed away on Monday this week.

He was 58 years-old.

He cut his teeth as a government communicator in former Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa’s office from 1999 until 2008.

He also served as a spokesperson for former President Kgalema Motlanthe.

Masebe was the Acting Director -General in the office of the current Gauteng Premier David Makhura at the time of his passing.

Family spokesperson Phophi Ramathuba says they will always appreciate his honesty.

“Thabo is not a praise singer, if he says to you, you have done well, I know I have done well. Some of the people want to buy my face, but with Thabo, he was genuine. And as a politician, I’m saying I was fortunate to have him in my life to say I’ve got a person who’s objective,” says Ramathuba.

Meanwhile, former Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa says, “People must remember Thabo as someone who didn’t believe in a spin for his principal. But he believed that what is important is to communicate as truthfully as is possible. Secondly, he was highly political but no one will say to you in the nine years I have worked with him,  that they have ever seen him with me at any political activities. He separated his work as a communicator in the office of the Premier from his work as a political person. He could be called upon to go and assist at Luthuli House or at Walter Sisulu House, but he was also very clear that he does that in his own spare time.”
