EMOTIONAL FUNERAL AS THE THOSI FAMILY ARE LAID TO REST IN BOTSOLENI
Mayor of Collins Chabane Local Municipality Shadrack Maluleke delivered his condolences message. He told residents of Botsoleni that a veil of sadness, darkness, and grief has covered the beautiful area of Collins Chabane Local Municipality.
“We have no words. This is a difficult situation for us as the Collins Chabane Local Municipality. But still, we know that the rainbow of hope will rise from the clouds to keep our hope burning for a tomorrow that is better than today and God will restore the Thosi family,” he said.
“This is devastating beyond words. We send our deepest condolences and pray that the bereaved, relatives and the whole community be granted strength to get through this difficult time. There are not enough words to comfort the family but we know God in heaven is with us.”
Mayor Maluleke further extended a scripture of Isaiah 57:1-2 to the family. It reads “Good people pass away. The godly often die before their time, but no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.”
