Farewell Kassie | Zizwe commerates your life

Remembering the Great; from the Eastern Limb.
Kassie’s passing will leave a great void within our company as well as our hearts, which will not be easily filled by
any person but rather the memories and legacy that he left behind. He was a father, a friend and a colleague that
always had time to help where needed. Our hearts go out to his family who lost a pillar, who stood proud and tall.
We can miss and cry as much as we want, but the memories made together can never be taken away from us. He
will always be part of the Zizwe family, and he will be remembered as being GREAT… Goodbye until we meet again….
Contents You were such a calm and welcoming soul, I wish that you go well with your creator, it was quite a journey with the

best memories. We love you and you will forever be in our memories. Go well on your new journey!!
