According to Thandiwe Mamlambo, Mafumba’s niece, what she will miss the most about her aunt is that she loved people a lot and she would speak loud and laugh loud with everyone.
“She was not choosy when it comes to the way she related to people. She loved and treated everyone with respect and as an equal. She possessed a character that everyone in the family will miss.
“I hate the fact that she was killed by negligence of one driver who did not stop at a stop sign. I wish people would learn to respect the rules of the road,” said Mamlambo.
