Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi has urged the family of the late Ms Mmaloago Kemokgatla to pin their hopes on God as they deal with the loss of their mother.<\/b><\/p>\n

Condoling with the family at Kanye\u2019s Goo- Ruele Ward on Friday, President Masisi said while death marked the end of each person\u2019s earthly sojourn, those remaining behind should stay strong and not lose hope.<\/p>\n

Urging Ms Kemokgatla\u2019s children to not despair, he said they should draw strength from Batswana\u2019s tradition of coming together to render support to those grieving the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n

Dr Masisi said it was that same spirit that compelled him to go and show the Kemokgatla family support at their time of need.<\/p>\n

A family representative, Ms Lady Koboyankwe told President Masisi the 75-year-old, Ms Kemokgatla, who succumbed to a short illness on April 9.<\/p>\n

Ms Koboyankwe thanked the President for always finding time out of his busy schedule to stand with grieving families.<\/p>\n

Another family member, Mr Leonard Morakaladi described the deceased as a strong pillar that many families relied upon in different ways.<\/p>\n

Mr Morakaladi also thanked the President for his visit, saying the knowledge that he shared in their grief was an important source of strength for them.<\/p>\n
