When we said "Old Age Centre goes back to school" - gogo understood the assignment! 100% beautiful. Our seniors stole the show today.
> She once wore a school uniform as a little girl with dreams. Today she wears it again as a grandmother with stories.
> Some clothes never go out of style - especially joy.
> Thank you to our elders for reminding us that childhood lives inside us forever.

Sibonge niseza

It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of one of our oldest member of the Zamelani Abadalana Aged Group, Gogo Gule. She will surely be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

Hamba kahle, sisi wabantu. Siyohlale sikukhumbula. May your soul rest in peace. 🕊️💐

On behalf of **Zamelani Abadala Aged Group**, we extend our deepest gratitude to **Evander Gold Mine** for your generous donation of blankets.

Your kindness has brought so much warmth and comfort to our elders during these cold days. You didn’t just donate blankets, you donated dignity, care, and love.

We appreciate you for remembering those who built our communities. May God continue to bless Evander Gold Mine and all your staff.

**Siyabonga kakhulu! Enkosi! Thank you!**

Special farewell tribute to our beloved social worker, Happy Mthombeni.

Today we gather not with sadness, but with deep gratitude. We are saying goodbye to a woman whose name truly matched her work: **Happy**.

Happy, you didn’t just do a job. You carried people’s burdens. You You knocked on doors when no one else would, filled forms when hands were tired, and fought for the elderly, and the forgotten when their own voices were too weak.
A social worker’s office is often full of tears, stress, and heavy stories. But you walked into those rooms with patience, with dignity, and yes, with happiness. You reminded us that even in broken situations, there is still hope, there is still help, and there is still someone who cares.

You taught us that “ubuntu” is not just a word. It’s visiting the sick. It’s following up after hours. It’s remembering a child’s name 2 years later. It’s choosing kindness when it’s easier to give up.

We don’t know what the next chapter holds for you, but we know this: the lives you touched will never be the same.

So today we don’t say “goodbye” as in “gone forever”. We say “thank you” and “go well”. May the road rise to meet you. May the same compassion you gave to others come back to you tenfold.

Happy Mthombeni, you were more than a social worker to us. You were family.

**Hamba kahle, Mama. Go in peace.** We love you and we always will ❤️ 🌹 💐
