28 August 2013 Dear Mr Mashaba, News has reached me that your father failed to resist the ring and draw of the bell yesterday, whose sound only he, and not those around him, heard. He unbuttoned his belt and took off his earthly garment quietly, and departed without announcement, fully understanding that had we known, we would not have allowed his departure. I cannot estimate the quantum of the cruel pain that you and your family must now endure, and I am quite aware that my words now come when my silence would have been more appropriate. It is my faith that leads me to this breach for whose mercy will come on the day in the near future, when the joy of life and its abundance offers you reprieve from this brutal scotch. The dwelling place to which your father has travelled is the same one that many of our dear ones have since left, and the same one where I hope to encounter them in the most glorious and eternal ceremony. Allow me to share this hope with many of our mutual and new friends who may not have met your father, but who surely will meet him in your selfless and conscientious service to the people of our nation. Them and I sure will look to you, your siblings and many of your like-minds to lead and guide us, in ways your old-man taught, as we seek ways for our people to discover the best in themselves. God be with your, our old-man. Your brother and friend, Ndaba Gaolathe
