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. They were headed for Marobela village in the northern part of the country to initialise wedding negotiations.

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