Hundreds of people thronged Phomolong Cemetery over the weekend to bury one of the country’s education icons.

Former students, former colleagues and the nation at large came to pay their last respects to the late Barache Busiswa Motsepe who worked as a teacher for more than 40 years. Speaker after speaker described her as a great woman who lived, breathed and ate education and instilled that into everyone who happened to be in her life. Bach, as she was popularly known, believed in good quality as was evidenced by the good results she produced in everything that she did. Bach instilled good values in her students and many of them  have now made it in life. “When she was the school head at St Joseph’s College they produced excellent results and we were at par with schools such as Maruapula and Moeng College,” said Marx Mophuting.

Mophuting was one of the teachers at St Joseph’s College during Bach’s tenure as the school head then and said Bach was also a perfectionist who did not tolerate unfinished business and remembered her during the College’s 50th anniversary where she did a sterling job in preparations for the event.
