Ma
I have been in disbelief since I heard the news.
For the 23 years I've been friends with Gee(Itu), your home was my other home. Everytime I came to visit, you embraced me with a warm hug, we'd share a joke and genuinely ask about my well-being and that would lead into an encouraging and insightful conversation. You always had warm words of encouragement....always.
You where my dear mother too, who I loved dearly. It hurts knowing that next time I come home you won't be there...
But I'm grateful to have had the privilege of experiencing your love and your presence.
I will love you always

And I pray that God gives strength, comfort and peace to my brothers Itu(Gee), Kutlwano(Big Bro) and Kamo. I love you guys and I'm with you ♥️

Hi my lovey sister may the Good Lord be with you as we are going to miss you and pass my regards to my best friend Bontle Pretty girl , monyebo yo montle wa lona ga okitla o phimoga mo matlhong a me . Modimo one ore a dimile lona ke i thutile gole gontsi mo golona .GODBLESS  Robala ka kagisho Sister

Rest in peace ausi Maggie. I had a mentor and mother at work and even on your retirement, you kept guiding me. You made time to call to check on me and my family all the time. Your smile will forever be imprinted on my heart.Your calm and gentle voice even when you are critical, amazed me. You are dearly missed. Francina Motau

The bond we shared will forever be engraved in my heart.Will hold on to the advises and guidance you imparted.

I pray for God's comfort and total emotional wellbeing to Itu, Kamo & Kutlwano including the entirr family.

Lala ngoxolo Auntie. You welcomed all of us into your home and supported our families during difficult times. We learnt so much from you: life lessons, activism and commitment to building a better country.

Dearest Maggie. Thank you for always welcoming us into your home and your heart with loving grace, and allowing us to be part of your beautiful family. My most precious memory of you is your thoughtful gesture of sending my mom (whom you didn't even know) a flowering pot plant when my dad passed away. Your plant helped my mom to get through the most difficult days of my dad's passing as she tended it with care and kept it in her kitchen window for a number of years after his passing. Forever grateful. Lettie.

Sis Maggie. Your memory will forever live in our hearts. You opened your heart to all of us and for that we remain truly grateful.
May your soul rest in peace.
Euphemia and Karabo Nkabinde

Ausi Maggie
I met you in Rustenburg in 2019 and ever since you have shown me such pure love and kindness. I will not forget how you wanted the family bond to grow stronger and stronger. You were indeed a true epitome of kindness. May your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace.

You are a giant in my heart. So enormous is the love with which you loved those dearest to you. No hello or goodbye was complete between us without that warm and reassuring embrace, sweetened all the more by your radiant smile. A mother to us all. Making each of us feel like your favourite. Is it any wonder that God wanted you back so soon?! His shining star.

Rakgadi, your light may be gone from this world but it will burn ever so brightly within our hearts until we meet again. We will love you forever Rakgadi and hope to make you proud. Gomolemo

My dearest Maggie, you truly took us by surprise and we are still in a shock because we had thought connecting with you was going to last us many more years to come. I am deeply touched because our last conversation was on 27 October 2020. I knew that you were looking forward to come to Botswana for the next family reunion but Alas! It never happened. Only God can explain. Robala ka kagisho Ntsalaka. Itu and the brothers, Mama has run her race let's celebrate her life with dignity and honor.

My mother-in-LOVE..I don't know how to express the pain I feel. I keep seeing your smile and reflecting on our time together. From the first time I met you and Dad Mtu in London, I loved you both. You made me feel at home and we laughed in the kitchen talking about business plans in the future. The love between you and Dad was palpable and now you are together again. We still needed you. I still needed you- your love, your guidance and teaching. Your grand-children needed you, but God's plans are beyond our understanding. I promise to continue to pour the kind of love you demonstrated to the family and the children. Your grand-children will know they were loved by you. We were blessed to have you and be part of your legacy. I love you Ma Maggie. Fambai zvakanaka. Basa masiya mapedza (non-literal translation: "Go well, you have run a good race") - Tina Oliphant

To Kutlwano (Samora), Itumeleng, Kamogelo and family
Our thoughts are with you at this time of great loss.
Comrade Thandi will live on forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Spencer and Claudia Hodgson

I am broken, I am sad, I was just enjoying my reconnection with Thandi after the many years in exile.

We recently met at the shopping center in East Rand and we were planning to meet after the lock down. Since our reconnection we have been talking on the phone about our past., having late night giggles, our children and our future plans.

Ma-malone, Rakgadi Mangwane, sister, Comrade, I'm gonna miss you and our late night giggles.

Hamba kahle my sister.

Maggie, you were a sister God had given me. Thank you very much for your kindness, selflessness, humbleness, and LOVE . You welcomed us into your family and made us feel at home. I will cherish the times we spent together. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to meet you and experience you. Our hearts are shattered. It is too much to take in.....I will miss you.We will keep your memories alive by showering your boys and grandkids with love and support. I love you Maggie. May your soul rest in Peace.

Maggie Tsala ya me. Onthobetse.I was just enjoying our reunion and reconnection after so many years.
I will miss our laughter and 'girlie talks that reminded us our Moletsane High School years.
Thank you for the lovely photo you sent me recently.It will serve as a remembrance
I will always love you my dear friend.
May your soul rest in peace. You will not well alone.Your loving husband will hold you by your hand.

May her soul rest in peace condolences to the family.

May your soul rest in peace. , The brightness of your smile, the goodness of your soul will always stay in our hearts because you were one beautiful comrade’ a sister and a colleague we had. Losing you is no doubt a big loss to all of us who have travelled the past with you. You will always be missed.

In this time of grief find comfort in the word of the Lord. You have gained a forever guardian angel. She might not be with you in the physical, but she'll forever be with you in your heart and soul. You are loved, you are protected and most of all you blessed. Celebrate her life. Stay being the amazing human you are.

Love and Light. ️️

I can’t help wondering why it is that some are snapped up in an instant. Fare thee well aunt. You fought a good fight and won the race. You left a legacy that will be read through the generations, current and to come. You left a mark in our hearts, that nothing will ever erase. It is indelible in our hearts.You are a rare gem and will forever be cherished.

Modimo o ne a reneile, mme o bowetse o latile & all we can say is, "It is well, O it is well dear Lord."

It’s been tough to dot down my thoughts about you Ausi Thandi in words of the past. I will forever uphold the journey of my life especially in difficult times with you on my side. You stood by me. You were my source of courage. You gave me all the love until your last breath. You cared for my son and took interest of his development. You walk me the path of raising a boy child. All I can define in you is Sisterhood. Thank you for your deep love and care. I remain thankful and humbled for your teachings. What a Phenomenal woman in you Ausi Thandi. God surely chose you the Flower of the Revolution. You have run your race and you kept the faith. Rest in Eternal Peace.
To Kutlwano, Itumeleng and Kamogelo. May God carry you through in this phase. Sincere condolences. Motlalepula

The 1 memory of you that i will neva forget was when you and mama walked me down the aisle on my wedding day nd you stood as my parent to give me away... I still cant come to terms with the fact that you are gone. Only God knows wat He is doing and all we can do is trust the plan of God. You were a blessing and even beyond,a sweet heart that loves and was so lovable. Rest in perfect peace Aunty, we will 4eva miss you❤

Took me a while to get to writing this because I still can't get my mind around the reality that I'm referring to you among those who are late, is this God playing a trick on us? How are we loosing another mother hardly 6 months after MamPretty?
So often you said you're not going anywhere anytime soon because you have so many kids to attend to, I guess God had other plans.
Your guidance, love, selflessness, motivation, joyfulness, support and drive will be deeply missed.

We will carry the torch from here on and fulfill some of the plans we had together. Heaven has gained another Angel who will watch over us.

Till we meet again. RIP Mamogolo

Thandi I cant believe you are gone.It was too soon my sista.You were such a special person to me, you and pioneer and Mntu.Good people are going one by one leaving broken hearts behind.The passing of your brother Pioneer,my friend and confidante left me speechless znd now its you.I did not know you were sick.Anyway rest in peace Thandi I will always cherish our frienship and sistahood.Goodnight .Carol Jack

Aus Maggy; it still doesnt sound real; I can not start imagining that I wont see you ko Boitekong anymore...but I will have to accept that its actually Gods angels that came & called you by your name; this is the will of God. You will forever be missed; your memories will never die. The heavens have gained such a kind soul in you. A mowa wa gago o bone boikhutso mma; go fitlhela re bonana gape ausi; Rest easy my dear siater; Rest well.

Oh dear Thandi ka Mtu as we used to call you. I cannot imagine you in any other way except with that soft beautiful smile you always had. When I first met you, you were very young, you were respectful, kind and very responsible. I'm glad to say you never changed over the years. I cannot believe you are no longer with us. The only consolation I have is that you have joined your best half in heaven because both of you belong there. May your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. To your children, I pray that the good Lord may protect, guide and give you strength as you go through these difficult times.

My dearest Mags (as I used to call you). It still feels like a dream from which I 'll be awakened. I will forever miss our long whatsapp chats on every possible topic on this earth. Your advices on health matters, finances and children. Your no nonsense attitude when necessary.
I loved you like my own flesh and blood.
Till we meet again dearest friend, sister and comrade.

Ausi as we would call @Tladi Soweto,I grew under your watch as a little girl you we always loving and humble,down to earth person,it's so hard to come into terms of losing you so sudden you will always be in our hearts,go well ausi Rest,the angels are rejoicing to welcome you.

Dear my sister, comrade and former colleague. I will miss you dearly, especially phone calls and conversations we use to have. Not forgetting old memories when we were in Tanzania e Charlotte. Rest in peace you ran the race. Hamba kahle qhawekazi lesizwe.

A permanently cheerful soul. Will be sorely missed.

Your kind & warm welcoming smile & your down to earth personality will forever remain in us. You ran your race dear sister. Robala la kgotso.
