**************
Until We Meet Again
*************
THANK YOU
For your thoughtfulness.
Your love, generosity and support during this
difficult is greatly appreciated by the family.
To everything there is a season, a time for every matter
under heaven; a time to be born and a time to die; a time
to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to
weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to
dance; a time to keep and a time to cast away.
- Ecclesiastes

I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I remained faithful.
And now the price awaits me – the crown of righteousness, which the
Lord will give me on the day of his return. 2 Timothy 4: 7-8

Eulogy for Amos and Pinky Nkosi,
(Our beloved Mother and Father)
Mr Mandinda Amos Nkosi (75 yrs ) and Mrs Mary Mmakagae Joyce Nkosi (69 yrs) [ affectionately known as Pinky]
were united in Holy Matrimonial for (47yrs). Years of inseparable connectedness . Indeed love never dies. Together
they shared more than five decades of life & love.
Death came for our parents in very short intervals. How devastating and painful it is. Pinky Nkosi born on 26 July
1952 and ceased living on 04 July 2021. Amos Nkosi born on 22 April 1946 and passed on the 05th July 2021. Their
lives and deaths were connected and inseparable in many ways, partnership for life, love forever, wonderful, kind and
God fearing at all times. We will always remember love, never dies through the love they both shared.
Ordinary people who lived heroic and peaceful lives - On 04 July 2021 and 05 July 2021 respectively the family
was horrified grief-stricken and paralysed at the passing of our parents grandma and grandpa our pillars of strength
and faith. They both, ceased living due to COVID-19 Delta related complications. Lives and Love Union that should not
be mourned but celebrated. This is our way of immortalizing our parents story:
Pinky Nkosi(nee’Mogoane) was born by the late Billy and Nomvula Magdelina Mogoane (nee’ Malindi) married to
Amos Nkosi who was born by the late Geleni Albert and Eanica Nkosi (nee’ Zimo )
Responsible Life - Our parents were united in holy matrimony on 14 December1974 blessed with four children (2
boys ) and ( 2 girls) and 8 grand children ( 4 boys) and ( 4 girls). Both grew up and started early stages of their lives
in Benoni and later moved to Boksburg where they met their untimely death. Mr Amos Nkosi a stalwart karate, body
builder, sales professional and Brand Manager held different positions from Jewish motorbike and portable radio shopfurnished-
Clover and African life. He holds a lifetime underwriter Certificate from Underwriters Associations of South
Africa, Life, Mrs Pinky Nkosi a stalwart teacher training and development held certificates in Teacher Diploma Daveyton
College- Higher Education Diploma ( RAU) - Dip Educ Computer Literacy ( cum Laude) - EFA North- HIV / AIDS
Train the trainer GAPSA. She worked at Lesabe Primary School for 32 years and retired in 2008. Amos Nkosi worked
at and retired in ( date). She Pricipaled Faith Academy Christian School in a manner that will not be forgotten. They
both raised their children to fear the Lord. Full of discipline they imparted to their children importance of family, caring
for others, hard work and went an extra mile to ensure they always stay in their best behaviour. Their lives anchored
and focused on prayer and dedication to the Lord.
Unending Love, Strength amidst hardships of life – For three decades they faced harsh realities, of apartheid,
being robbed of her rightful inheritance of land at Doornkop and inequality. Extraordinary people they were they worked
hard took their children to school. Never ashamed of situations that faced them. Always-keeping family focused at
peace and united. Biggest family value was that of prayer and the power of faith. They are survived by Tebogo, Bafana,
Lindiwe and Phumzile and 8 grand children. May both souls rest in peace and rise in glory!!! Your legacy live long
on throughout generations to come!!!
Life without Our Parents - We shared tears of grief and how COVID -19 Delta robbed us of your lives. It was a
blessing to have been a part of you both and learned your life as a story book. A story book we will forever keep in our
hearts. We will never heal from this tragedy however we will learn to live with the pain and pray God’s comfort daily as
we keep your life story book in our hearts. Days are lonely, nights are cold, comfort comes from knowing that both your
lives were well lived. Knowing that your departure was together makes us feel better and healed.
Death where is your sting? Grave where is your victory? Our parents bodies are at rest now, though it is harder to
bear they will both be dearly missed rest in peace Bankosi ( isithagazelo sa Nkosi) We shall forever remember “ theirs
was decades of survival - marriage obstacles and not only surpassing all human understanding through love. Their
love conquered everything. For both loved not sometimes only or for a passing moment but always to death!!!
COVID-19 Delta varient you are a coward!!! Cruel!!! O leswena !!! Ononya!!!
“Moo Dithlako tsa pele di gatilego, le rena re tla gata.
Lapho abadala ba dlule khona ku lapho siyoya Nathi!!!
Re tla direla Modimo kamehla”.
Siyo hlala si Mdumisa Unkulunkulu !!!!
