Despite her long illness, suffering and having spent four months in hospital bed, mostly in the ICU and strictly confined, Moeder Masae’s death touched the hearts of many people, more especially those who were close to her; family, relatives, colleagues, friends and neighbourhood.

Throngs of hundreds of mourners crammed and overflew at her memorial service venue at the Mahikeng Airport Arrival precinct to celebrate her life. They came to reminisce of her, her contributions, her bubbly character and her warm interaction with colleagues. There was never a dull moment shared with this beautiful soul as she was quite talkative, walked briskly, was a passionate and hardworking employee.

As she was laid to rest at her home village, Setlopo in Mahikeng, mourners who filled the marquee tent were teary, lonesome and expressions of shock and disbelieve were drawn all over their sad faces. Only song and messages of condolences interrupted out pouring tears and heavy hearts mourners went through almost in unison. Bidding farewell to this ever smiling child of God, a niece to some, a colleague to us and a friend to many countless others was quite a mountain to climb.
