JOHANNESBURG – Dr. Thandi Ndlovu, the women in construction tycoon, died after a terrible car crash on Saturday morning. It is alleged that Ndlovu died in hospital following a head-on collision on a trip to a funeral in Rustenburg, North West.

While details of what occurred at the moment of writing were still sketchy, it is confirmed that no one survived the car crash.

In 1999, Ndlovu started Motheo Construction. The firm went on to obtain from the Construction Industry Development Board a grade 9 certificate level.

She was a former chairman of the Built Environment’s Black Business Council. No official comments or remarks received from her family at the moment.

The Business fraternity association and the Black Business Council, however confirmed the news and have both submitted official statements to confirm the death of Dr. Ndlovu.
