Irenias Mothopheng: A civic leader of note :: Mmegi Online

On the sad occasion of the death of Irenias Mothopheng, we reprint a brief biography of him that we first published on January 19, 2004. Mothopheng's eldest daughter, Pinkie Makepe, told Mmegi yesterday that her father will be laid to rest at Phomolong in Phakalane tomorrow. The funeral service will start at 6.30am at the Anglican Cathedral in Gaborone. He is survived by his wife Martha, three children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law and two sisters. May his soul rest in peace

Irenias Mothopheng, a visually-impaired Gaborone councillor, sees no obstacles in coping with his demanding civic duties. Some 30 years ago, he was the town clerk for the then Gaborone Town Council.

Last year he made a comeback to the Civic Centre as a councillor. "I enjoy my job as a councillor," he emphasised. The Minister of Local Government specially nominated Mothopheng to the council following the resignation of one civic leader last year.
