According to Sowetan Live his mother wrote a moving eulogy to her son that was read during the burial ceremony.
“Seeing you lying in that bed, bruised and in pain, helpless and disconnected to your true being. The Siyanda full of so much life and energy, always with laughter. How I wished you could open your eyes and say to me ‘Titi’ for the very last time. ‘Say it again nana. Call me Titi.'” SowetanLive quoted her as saying.
