Maka Sbahle's heartbreaking words

Speaking directly to her late husband, Maka Sbahle remembered the promises her made to her and how he had fulfilled some and others he could not get the chance to, as his life was cut short at just 29.

Part of her message read: "My love, Bahle's dad, Madala wami, the sun has set; you really left me. I see all of your friends here, but you are not there. You have really left me. Rest in peace."

She went on to reveal just how central he was to her world: "You made a promise to me that our love would never end, and I am still holding on to that. But today, you have left me with the kids? Why did you leave me when you know I don't have a mother and father? You were my only hope and built me my mansion, but still left me alone. How do I live without you?"
