Part of her tribute mentioned how she knew they would be together when she first saw him on Yizo Yizo.
“You promised me that we will be together until we are 100 years but you broke that promise. I am so lost without you. We had so many plans Dali, uthi ngenze njani manje (what must I do now)?
“Thank you for loving me, you made me feel so special. You have set the bar so high no man will be able to reach it. I am broken and it will take time to go back, I doubt I will ever be the same again.”
The tribute was read at Ngubane’s funeral by her sister.
