Governor Gavin Newsom issues statement on Engineer Ali Shabazz’s death

The following statement was issued by Governor Gavin Newsom today in response to the passing of Engineer Ali Shabazz, who worked for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans):

“Both Jennifer and I are utterly heartbroken to have learned of the untimely passing of Ali Shabazz, a devoted employee of Caltrans who had been serving the people of California for more than 16 years.

During this difficult time, we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to his family as well as his many friends and coworkers at Caltrans.

Shabazz, who was 48 years old and from Fresno, was killed when the vehicle he was driving was struck late on Sunday night as he was working and on his way to a job location in the Fresno area.

Since 1921, he is the 191st worker for Caltrans to pass away as a result of an accident or illness while on the job.
In 2006, Shabazz started working for Caltrans. His wife, Nia, and their eight children will carry on his legacy after his passing.

At the request of Shabazz’s family, the flags at the State Capitol and the Capitol Annex Swing Space will be lowered to the half-staff position today.

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope.
