Boitumelo Tumi Mape 1966-2009

In life we live under the shadow of death. It lurks about in the very air we breathe, ready to strike randomly like lighting. Every second death strikes and leaves bereavement in its wake. And no one is spared, rich or poor, black or white, sick or healthy, death comes regardless. Publilius Syrus correctly pointed out that "as men, we are all equal in the presence of death. "

Death, always hungry and devouring people, has claimed the life of Mr. Boitumelo Tumi Mape. He was an entrepreneur and conveyancer. Tumi was a charming and talented man. We have lost a good man and a leader. He paid for my studies at Vista University and I worked for him in two of his companies.

May your soul rest in peace Ntate Boitumelo Mape.

So we must all know that anytime, the hand of death might strike.

Tumi was indeed a great man. I am still shocked by his passing. His memory will live on in the hearts of the people who had the previlege of meeting him, and his legacy lives on through his sons. May his soul rest in peace.

True that, Tumi has inspired us to study and work hard to be successful. Yes, his legacy will remain with us for as long as we live.

Although it is difficult to comprehend that Tumi has retired from the face of the earth it is believed that he has conquered all his challenges and opportunities and he has indeed been called upon in the "hereafter" at a ripe age where he will achieve greater menifestations and live forever in the gardens of abundance. He will be waiting for his loved ones.
