MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE - dR pule herbert isak MAKGOE

On behalf of the Executive Committee of the ELRC, I wish to convey our heartfelt sadness over the untimely passing of Dr. Pule Herbert Isak Makgoe, MEC of the Free State Department of Education.

We mourn an exemplary leader and visionary who served others with dedication.

An anti-apartheid activist and visionary, Dr. Makgoe was driven by the quest to address underdevelopment in order to realise the objectives of true political transformation that benefits the mariginalised.

“As we mourn our loss,
we realize that our passage through this earthly realm,
is what defines our destiny, our standing on the other side.
If our life was dedicated to goodwill,
how great our reward in the hereafter?

As we lay a great man to rest,
may the echo of his prominence ring in our hearts as a lasting memory.
Our momentary grief allowed,
for a great one is gone,
but his life was not in vain,
his distinguished works will reverberate in our history books,
keeping the spirit of his efforts alive.” BL

Dr. Makgoe will be sadly missed, but affectionately remembered for his prowess and his dedication to the creation of a better country for all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Makgoe family during this difficult time.

With Sympathy

Issued by the General Secretary on behalf of the Executive Committee of the ELRC.
