Dr Mthandazo’s family
Donation protected
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the search for Dr Michael Mthandazo continues.
Dr Mthandazo moved to Vernon in January 2021 where he is a well respected family physician who served his community. On July 30th, 2022, he went to Kamloops to play in a recreational soccer tournament. He then went for a swim with his son but the water current started to speed up and although he was able to help his son out of the water, he wasn’t able to get out himself. He was unfortunately swept away and his body has yet to be recovered.
Dr Mthandazo was the sole income earner and does not have any extended family locally so his wife, Julia, and their two sons (ages 11 and 8 months) will need a lot of support from the community. This is such a tragedy and with Julia’s blessings, we have started a gofundme page in hopes to alleviate some of the financial burden ahead.
