But Mabuza has a long-standing record of escaping death. It has been alleged that in 2015, the deputy president was poisoned after letting his guard down at his birthday party in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga.
At the time of the poisoning, Mabuza was the premier of Mpumalanga and explained in an interview that he started feeling sick in August 2015.
Mabuza went to the state hospital in Moscow, Russia, to receive medical attention. It has been reported that he left in a private jet owned by the Gupta family with Jacob Zuma's son, Duduzane, reported SowetanLIVE.
In 2021, Mabuza took medical leave and returned to Russia for further medical attention for the same poisoning incident.
Mabuza's motorcade was involved in a car crash in July this year. Fortunately, he was not in the vehicle, and no one was killed. Mabuza's motorcade was involved in a collision on the N1 in Midrand, Johannesburg.
His protection officers sustained minor injuries.
Here's what South Africans have to say about Mabuza's survival:
