Mpho Sebeng remembered by friends and peers in emotional memorial service: "We were all so lucky"

"In the Spirit of Africa Month , Yesterday we celebrated #ancestorsday & poured one for the ancestors. The Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa collaborated with communities, and cultural custodians to have 8 May celebrated as Ancestor’s Day & @castlemilkstout_sa has been in the forefront of this powerful initiative and movement. This isn’t another public holiday but it is an important day , it is a day of Reflection and Honouring those who came before us."

Mpho Wabadimo also told Briefly News:

"The significance of Ancestor's Day, especially in today's society, where African spirituality has become such a norm, is that we still get some confusion from people. Remember, spirituality means no limitation of religion or belief. Hence, ancestor's day, when it comes to African spirituality, is a foundation one follows. Therefore, Ancestor's Day is not just about celebrations. Still, it is about understanding and reflecting on the knowledge that comes from understanding the depth of what you are following and who you are as an African."
