Voëlklip tragedy – one year later: flowers for Heidi and children

The children's carer, Susan Fungai, also joined the family to lay down flowers for Heidi (35), Cozette (6) and little Hugo (2).

The widower from Herold’s Bay, Ettienne Scheepers, immediate family members and the new love in his life, Nazisca Moolman went up to Voëlklip yesterday, Thursday 22 October, to lay a wreath in memory of his wife and children who died tragically a year ago.
