Gcinile had this to say to the newsletter about her baby brother.

"As his big sister, I am especially proud of Mlungisi, having watched him progress through Medical School and gain his independence from me as someone who has walked the path. He was determined to forge his way and rarely asked for help. I think the happiest person though is our mother - she has been extremely blessed to experience this in her lifetime."
