She died in a car collision. Her memorial service was held on April 6 at the Primrose Methodist Church.

The crash also claimed the life of her husband on April 3.

Colleagues and friends from the Primrose SAPS shared their memories at the memorial.

She was regarded by her colleagues as a mother to many and a pillar of strength, a dedicated officer and a counsellor.

Bolawane Nyareli, Primrose SAPS senior admin clerk, said she started working at the Primrose Police Station in 2006 when she first met Molisakeng, who then became her best friend.

“She was a woman of prayer. In times of emotional need, she would comfort us. She was like a sister to me,” said Nyareli.

“At work, she was the peacemaker between colleagues. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone with her charisma.

“Two weeks before her death, we were at a colleague’s birthday party and she was happy like it was her birthday.”

She was known for sending motivational messages every morning to friends, family and colleagues.

“She always said life was too short to be holding grudges. She encouraged me to live life to the fullest. People should remember her by her smile. She had a beautiful smile,” said Nyareli.

Sgt Styles Maome, Primrose SAPS communications officer, described her as a ‘jolly and loving person’ who invested her time to community projects.

“She served at the station as the administrative clerk principal. She often helped the youth desk to organise and execute community outreach projects. She loved working with the community,” said Maome.

“When I didn’t greet her in the morning, I would be in trouble with her.

“The management of Primrose commends the efforts of everyone who arranged the memorial service. The attendance indicated that our heroine was indeed a popular person in the community.”
