Message from the PsySSA Office: Prof Siphiwe Ngcobo (Past President)

Message from the PsySSA Office:

It is with utmost sadness that we have to inform you that we have lost one of our dearest members: Prof Siphiwe Ngcobo (Past President) was fatally shot under suspicious circumstances after attending a family function over the weekend.

We are at a loss for words and deeply disturbed that our colleague and friend died in such a violent manner. Prof Ngcobo was one of our most competent and dynamic presidents and lead PsySSA to even greater heights during his two terms. As you may recall, he was one of the co-signatories of the recent letter on violence that PsySSA wrote to the President of South Africa - it is utterly regrettable that he fell victim to those very actions PsySSA expressed concern with. The Society will feel the effects of his death for a long time.

Our hearts go out to his family and friends. The funeral will be held on Saturday in Richards Bay - we will keep you informed of further details as they become available. May Siphiwe’s soul rest in peace.

Kind Regards
Ms Fatima Seedat

PsySSA Office Manager
