By Political Reporter – Former Deputy Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe made a rare public appearance after maintaining a low profile in recent months due to her ongoing battle with cancer.

Khupe, who recently revealed she is fighting another form of cancer, was seen distributing Christmas gifts to the elderlyin Ward 28. 

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), she reflected on her day, which included sharing lunch and holiday cheer alongside Councillors Ntando Ndlovu and Siboniso Moyo.

“Today (Saturday), I spent a wonderful day with the elderly in Ward 28, including a remarkable 100-year-old,” she wrote. “We enjoyed lunch together and shared Christmas groceries to bring holiday cheer. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

The former deputy prime minister has been a public advocate for cancer awareness since her initial diagnosis.
