3 August 1941– 4 February 2024
Honourable Esteemed Land of the Brave
Distinguished Ones around the Globe …
The Greatest Brave Warrior has fallen!
The inevitable agonising cracks tremored afar …
But then again we still sense his rhythm,
we still hear his pleasing beats,
his distinctive phrase:
“Omake! Omake!! Omake!!!”
Still lingering in our midst!
Beloved President, Your heroic affirmation:
“I fought the greatest fight
I have finished the race
I remained faithful!” –
Your classic perspective!
Is Our pillar, Our consolation price, Our legacy…
Dear Father, our loss is our borderless Sunshine!
Faith, Hope and Love your trend!
Watter deuntjie moet ek vir jou sing? Engee imburwa ndi mariku puire? Welches Lied soll Ich Dir singen? Rusumo musinke˛ nani ku dimbira? Ma //nae amsa nira !gaiba tsi? Nandi ku imbile oka imbilo kelipi? Kego opelele sefela sefe? Ki pina mani yelukona kumi opelela?
Madam first lady then, let’s jointly hymn: Whatever our lot thou have taught us to say it is well, it is well with our souls –
in attempt to accept our ordeal!
Therefore, Rest in peace our Pillar of Strength!
