ORBITUARY FOR MME RAMOKONE MOLOTO

27 July 2009

A courageous woman of strength and passion, paints her history and leaves a resounding silence My last words to Mme Ramokone Moloto.

I learned with sadness the passing away of Mme Ramokone Moloto, former Limpopo first lady. I grasped for air when I heard the news. Memories of moments shared with her during the launch of South African Women in Dialogue in Limpopo in 2004 are remarkable. She was an outstanding women who championed women's rights and courses with a passion. I looked up to her. I got a sense of sheer fulfillment when I wrote statements for SAWID. I pay my tribute to her for the knowledge she emparted on me and others. I wish her family strength at this time. May her soul rest in peace.

The ANC in Limpopo sends its condolences to the Moloto family. ANC Provincial Secretary Cde Joe Maswanganyi said our heart goes out to the family and her memory will live on. And Premier Cassel Mathale said that Mme Ramokone Moloto will be truly remembered by all. She took a stand to champion project that touches on the lives of the needy and for this we will forever be humbled by the role she played.
