He said: “We, the family, agreed that this coming Wednesday should be the date for the burial, combined with lying-in-state at Ebony Gardens. “I would like to say that when my mother was alive, she left another mother, which is my late wife. And each time they were having a chat, like mother to daughter chat, she used to say, I pray that none of my children should go before me. And today, I pray that none of my children will go before me.”
