Ms Shonisani Tseli (52), the wife of a former member of parliament, Mr Moses Tseli, passed away in the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital last Wednesday after a short illness.

She was buried at the Louis Trichardt Cemetery yesterday (Thursday).

Mr Moses Tseli said that the family was in great pain and saddened by her death. He said that the family was proud to have produced “one of the most valuable members of the community”. He added that she had played a big role in uplifting the standard of education in Limpopo. She is survived by her husband and three children.
