Heart heavy,I sit hear wondering how to put in words what I feel as I realise that South Africa has lost one of the nations mothers,I sit here wondering how I put in words the level of respect I have for u mama. A young African woman I stand bidding fairwell to a rock, thats what we call woman of her caliber, they are dignified, strong, moral, driven, loving, humble, graceful, beautiful. Oh the lessons woman like her have taught just by living breathtaking heights in this life, by not being swept up by the impurities of this world, not rating glitz and glam higher than moral value, by understanding what being an African mother is, by knowing that the responsibility of mother extends way beyond the borders of their homes and by living her Purpose fearlessly. Mama Albertina was a lesson to all about the power of a woman. I bid her farewell and pray that we will entrench the many lessons she taught in our hearts. We bid farewell to another mother of the struggle,lala ngo xolo mama wesizwe, lala ngo xolo Ndlovukazi, heaven will enjoy your presence.
