KATHU – It is with deepest regret that SIOC-CDT CEO, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, announces the sudden death of its newly elected Gamagara Community Representative Trustee, Mr Thusoeng Clement Itumeleng, whose death has been confirmed on 4 January 2020.
SIOC-CDT Board of Trustees and the entire team sends sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. His passing is a great loss to the organisation as the Board was eagerly looking forward to working productively with him in advancing SIOC-CDT’s core duty of community development.
Detailed information on memorial and funeral services arrangements is not yet confirmed by the family and as such SIOC-CDT has no further information to share regarding this matter.
We urge all community members to support and keep the family in their prayers during this difficult time.
