Tembisa community builder remembered
The owner of Royal Funerals was commended as a community builder, as he always lent a helping hand wherever he could.
Archbishop Abel Nkosi (58) died at his house in Emangweni Section on January 29.
The local businessman suffered a stroke on January 24, followed by his death at a hospital in Pretoria.
The owner of Royal Funerals was commended as a community builder, as he always lent a helping hand wherever he could.
“He would help bury people who could not afford the funeral costs. He gave away groceries to needy elderly people,” said his son, Bafana Nkosi.
Bafana said his father embarked on different business ventures, including day-care centres and a taxi business.
He also served on the governing body of a local school.
“In 1995 he founded a church called Amanxusa ka- Krestu, where he became an Archbishop.
“My father, working with Sello Chicco Twala, sponsored the recording of the church’s music album and filming of a DVD,” said his son.
He said his father’s memorial service will be held today, February 4, at the Wesile Hall in Emangweni Section.
The funeral service will be held at the same venue.
