Emotions as accident victims are buried

Monday, December 15, 2014

Two members of the same family who died in a tragic car accident while on their way to a wedding in Marobela village were on Saturday given an emotional send-off by family and friends at a funeral service held at Nakedi Ward in Thamaga.

Tebogo Letlhatsane (69) and her son, Lekgotla Letlhatsane (44) were two of the seven victims who lost their lives when a 16-seater minibus with 14 passengers onboard overturned near Dibete a week ago.

Three other people who survived the accident are still hospitalised, while the rest have since been discharged.
