Remembering Robert Natefo Ntsima

After a long illness that confined him for 10 years, Robert - or 'Robitha' - as he was affectionately called by his colleagues, died on April 1, 2011 and was buried on April 9, 2011 in Molepolole.

No doubt, his accolades will remain as a source of inspiration for posterity in the district.

Unfortunately, Robert's successes in tree planting as forestry manager in the district did not come out clearly in eulogies during his funeral; it was only captured in the obituary by his family, yet it is not in any doubt that 'Robitha' planted eucalyptus forests at Mankgwenyane, Mokgopeetsane, Ga-Ranta, Kopong and Takatokwane.
