“He was originally from the Lowveld, where he was a member of the Protrack Anti-poaching Unit. His favourite place was out in the wild or spending time with his family. When he walked into the room, he would light the entire place up. Our fondest memories include his wit and the way he made us all giggle.”
Although they are still grieving and have not yet set a date for his memorial, they know it will happen in a place he cherished. “We will hold a memorial for him in Kaapsehoop [near Mbombela], and we as a family will most likely scatter his ashes there. He loved going to the escarpment, so we will try and do it there.”
