And I weep endlessly for Boo.

She said he must pass her greetings to her late cousin Kagiso and others that she has lost.
“The Dale will never be the same without you. Say Hi to Iko, Siyasanga, Akhumzi, Moriri, Kagiso le papa Joe. Tell em I miss em dearly. Rest in Power Malome Thabo Elson ThiboGunz Mashigo. You will be missed my dawg,” she added.
