Women’s Day was celebrated in South Africa on Sunday and in the Dundee area we said a sad farewell to one of the district’s most respected ladies, Fransie Joubert.
Fransie passed away on Sunday. She was a remarkable 87-years-old. Fransie had lived at Eventide Home for some years but was still very active in the community and always supported community events when she could.
A memorial service will be held from 11am this Friday, August 14, at the NG Kerk Suid, Fouche Street.
Tributes have been pouring in for this much-loved lady who was so much part of Dundee’s unique fabric:
