“Let me tell you, he made you what you are today, something you must be appreciative of. You are this country’s future stars and all of us should thank the departed coach,” said Seitlhamo. She pleaded with the Judo community to accept the fact that the departed instructor has done his duty. “Celebrate his life as his spirit will always live with you,”Seitlhamo said

The kids also thanked counselor Seitlhamo for the important session which they said healed their emotions.
