This book further highlighted her commitment to spreading messages of love and faith, particularly to younger audiences.
As tributes continue to pour in from those who admired and were influenced by her work, the Sikwane and Matladi families are preparing to announce the details of her memorial and funeral arrangements in the coming days.
