Rest easy Tata. Your warmth and kindness will forever be remembered. The catch up calls you made, checking in on us, your springbok cap you always wore made you easy to spot you among the crowds at community gatherings will be greatly missed, you represented and served your community well. Rest well.
It is with deepest regret Tata to see you go. However you will ever be in our hearts and not forgotten. Your love and caring nature remains with us. We learnt a lot from you in my family and we appreciated you. Hamba kahle siyohlala sikukhumbula.

Bhuti Boy as we always called you by that name irrespective of your age, you loved to mingle with us. Full of love and wisdom, you were forever present in our midst, be it Birthdays ( not forgetting your present), bereavements and any other social gatherings. How can I forget such a professional photographer, taking pictures from his IPad now you are gone with those memories. You have ran your race and fought the good fight of faith, no one could have stopped your passing you listened to that soft voice ekubizela ekhaya. Hamba Jolinkomo, mkhululeni family yakhe and be comforted in the Lord. RIP tata Mdudu.
Bra Boy yours was a long journey started a long time ago in the EC. It tiptoed through Botswana into the then Northern Rhodesia ( Zambia), to a stopover in Ghana and Nigeria lasting over 30 years. The last journey was to the UK where "the train" terminated. You have left Jola but not really gone. I can see your smile even beyond the grave.
I pay tribute to a very gentle and peaceful man that always wanted ‘order’! I can still picture him shouting gently at our meetings: “order comrades” Who’s gonna take loads of our photos in his iPad now? You’ll be dearly missed. Big love to you Jolinkomo Forever in our hearts Rest in eternal peace ❤️
To the family, may God’s strength and comfort be with you all

Bhut Boy ngumtshana komalume noAunty bakhe!!!Wow so much love in our family homes when he was around indescribable !The catching up between him and his uncles .I remember as a young girl when my late uncle would arrive with a letter from him. My dad (his uncle) would be so happy to let us know that all was well with umtshana wakhe. We later had a landline ,and every Xmas there would be a call from him wishing malume and family Happy Xmas all the way from London! He then started to visit us eBede. One would see him walking proudly from one Mdudu house to another.And this one visit I was at home so I assisted with the cooking. So I made food which I thought he would like. Little did I know the old man misses South African food that he grew up eating. Then one day because it was very hot I decided to make umphokoqo namasi( pap and sour milk) and wow he was so pleased!!! He then went on to tell me that Aunty Nofikile promised to bake irostile (Rostear cookies) so he was also looking forward to that.With most visits he would bring his camera. He took pictures of his uncles and aunts and he would make sure he sends these back to South Africa. When he is quiet my dad would start saying he ubhut Boy is quiet. Then he visits ,we would all get details about his visit up until the very last one! So many lessons and so much love!!! Forever in our hearts Jolinkomo,Mphankomo ,Qengeba!Ugqatso ulufezile!Now the ball is in our court.
