Ackerville where a prayer was said before the hearse and family members moved to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church where the service was held.
Cries were heard from inside the house when the hearse drove off. A few members from the community gathered outside the church to pay their last respects. At the service, the programme directors were Minister Gwede Mantashe and MEC Lindiwe Mabona-Ntshalintshali.
