Beloved driving instructor Charlie Sammut, widely known as “il-Mangu,” from Mangu Motoring School, has passed away at the age of 64.

An extremely well-known name across the island, il-Mangu helped countless people to get their much-coveted driving licence.

On Tuesday, tributes poured in on social media from family members, friends, and former students.

“We will never forget you, especially the smile on your face, dancing, and jokes,” one family member said.

Many of his former students recalled how Charlie would always greet them with a smile and have great conversations with them during their lessons.

“Rest in peace dear friend, it is difficult to find a person like you. You always managed to put a smile on my face even when I did not want to. I will miss you,” another student commented.

“The best driving instructor I could have ever had,” one student said.

Rest in peace Charlie.
