Malamulele – The late Public Service and Administration Minister, Collins Chabane, has been placed in his final resting place, on Human Rights Day, at the local cemetery near his ancestral village of Xikundu in Saselemani, Limpopo.
It brings to a close a sombre, and at other times celebratory, week-long mourning, by the family and South Africans after the Minister died last week.
Minister Chabane passed away on Sunday, 15 March, in a crash on the N1 in Limpopo. Two of his protectors, Sergeants Lesiba Sekele and Lawrence Lentsoane, also died in the collision.
Following a beautiful and sombre funeral service at a specially-erected marquee earlier, Minister Chabane’s body, draped in the South African National Flag, was taken to the burial site where he was laid to rest. – SAnews.gov.za
