• Remembering Palesa Mmamosa Mokoena · 2y ago

  Fellow nurse and friend of fifty years

  We took our nursing oaths on the same morning in 1973 and shared an overcrowded room in the nurses' home. Palesa could sleep through anything except a baby's cry. I am heartbroken, and grateful to have had her all my life.

• Remembering Sibusiso Elias Mkhwanazi · 5y ago

  NUM colleague, Johannesburg regional office

  Baba Sbu arrived at every negotiation with a hand-written list and a flask of rooibos. Management always underestimated the quiet man with the notebook. They stopped after the first meeting. He taught me that preparation is a kind of respect.
