Sandile Roro has left us---may his soul rst in peace

Sandile had lived an amazing life even though it was rather short. He was a great friend; he was the kind of friend that stands by you when you need somebody to be there.

If it wasn’t for Sandile, I would have died of burn-out whilst working at Nedlac. Other than our boss, he was the only other person I could have challenging discussions with, talking about everything from the Illuminati, Reptilian Agenda, Thabo Mbeki, 70's music, Dee-jaying---we could talk about anything!!! Yes, that was 5 years ago and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

I remember once Sandile told me he thought he had identified the girl who was worthy of being his wife. Being hisfriend I must admit I was rather shocked and thought evil things about that girl.

He could make me laugh when I am really sad. He always cheered me up when he knew I just had a bad day. That’s the trademark of Sandile. He always wanted to make people happy.

Sandile’s death was sudden. I remember when I heard the news I simply could not believe it. Sandile was too young but as it slowly occurred to me I have realized that he indeed lived his life wonderfully.

Sandile was well-loved and he had done so many things on earth and I’m sure he’ll do much more in heaven.

I will forever be grateful to have known Sandile. I will forever be grateful that Sandile was there at the right place and at the right time to touch my life. I will forever be grateful for spending 5 years of my life with a friend like him. All the memories I have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered.

Sandile will forever live in my heart… In our hearts.He is in heaven now. This is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life. Don’t ever forget Sandile. He never wanted to see people cry. He wanted to make everyone happy.

So at this moment when we await his funeral, let’s all think back and remember how Sandile touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how good Sandile was as a person. This is not the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have known a man named Sandile.

Sandile Roro will forever be missed but I know in the right time, I will meet Sandile again. We will all meet him again and he’ll make us laugh in tears again.

  1. Mr Jili,
    I was at Clarendon with Sandile. I am shocked to hear about this now. What happened? He was the guy that introduced me to Economics & BCM

  2. Sorry Yoilsa,

    I've been very bad with managing my blog

    Sandile was involved in a car accident in May last year. He did not seem to have acquired any injuries, but apparently s rib bone punctured his lung and he was bleeding internally, which led to his death a month later.

    Jah...he was a BCM activist.
