May your selflessness and courage continue to be a beacon of hope for the downtrodden in our struggle to be freed from all forms of discrimination and social exclusion. In the words of one of my favourite hymns, “It is well with your soul” now, free from pain and any form of affliction. I can picture it all, you seated on a stool surrounded by those who have gone before us as you regale them with tales of your illustrious life fraught with trials and tribulations from which you emerged victorious and with renewed determination. You have taken a bow on this world’s stage and been promoted to glory to revel in the presence of our Lord and maker. I hope our youth will take a leaf in Madiba’s tree of life.
