Police have since made two arrests in the case.
Mduduzi Manzi who is with Mandeni Municipality says Mabhida served the Ward 18 community for years.
"He helped the people of his ward, but he contributed immensely in Mandeni as a whole. His contributions will be missed. The core of his principals was the growth of Mandeni which was evident in his passionate work with communities."
