Expressing his grief at the news of the passing of his friend and colleague, Sinclair said he was deeply saddened by Curry’s death. “It’s a great loss for us. She was a very strong woman who was very dedicated to her job of serving the community of Boksburg North. She loved her job and was a no-nonsense leader,” said Sinclair.
“It is with great sadness that we wish to advise the Boksburg North Sector One community of the passing of our chairperson Denise Curry,” said the Boksburg North CPF Sector One in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
The forum further stated that Curry’s passion and commitment to the community of Boksburg North area was unprecedented.
Denise reportedly played a very important role in the fight against crime and she wanted to rid the community of crime and stop the drug trade said to be robbing children of their youth.
“She sacrificed countless hours to ensure that the Boksburg North Sector One CPF was seen as one of the best in the country. She was our Margaret Thatcher, our iron lady!
