“I was very humbled with the support we’ve received as a family from people of Alexandra and family friends from different parts of the country,” Linda said.

“Though it has never been easy to lose a family member, especially someone who is young, we trust that God will give us the strength to move on. “Hlamalani was a loving wife to my son Sizwe and a caring mother to their four children that God blessed them with. We will remember her for the kindness, love and spirit of Ubuntu she had.”

Hlamalani was laid to rest in Waterfall Cemetery and leaves behind her husband, Sizwe and their four children, Siyabonga, Thulani and their twin daughters Zanele and Zandile.
