A Mhluzi school boy that was struck by lightning on his way home after school last week Thursday, will be laid to rest today in Limpopo.
Middelburg Observer reports the 15-year old, Tomelo Johannes Makua, was walking in the road after school when he was struck.
His father Maredi Phetla told Middelburg Observer that Makua was in Sozama High School, where he was a popular child.
He was walking home around 14:30 when he was killed on the spot by a rogue lightning bolt.
The family says he will be remembered as a light to others, and a fiend to many.
