Large screens were set up outside for the overflow as few were allowed inside in order to observe COVID protocols.These are some of the words used by those who came to share their grief with the family.
With church bells ringing throughout the city in honour of the Arch, many who came said they came to celebrate his life. CEO of Arts Cape, Marlene le Roux says she’s lost a personal friend: “For the Arch it did not matter which background you come from, which colour of the skin you are, which language you speak, which religion, for the Arch you are just the person.”
The Premier of the Western Cape, Alan Winde urged South Africans to live by even if it’s just by one of his principles: “If we can all take a little bit of what he meant to us in our own way of living our lives, what a different world this would be, he was bold, he was courageous, he was compassionate, he was all those things rolled into one.”
Comedian Marc Lottering says he would never tell a joke about the Arch – because he told better jokes: “When I met the Arch it was at the Baxter Theatre where he was telling jokes, and what I remember he loved laughing at his own jokes, I thought that’s a great quality to have.
May his soul rest in internal peace 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏 his legacy remains
