<div>I am very sad to hear about this. As Sarah said, we only met him once when travelling through Stellenbosch with Ina but he certainly made a big impression on both of us. We were struck by his passion and energy which was truly inspiring. He certainly won't
be forgotten and here's hoping that the legacy of his<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"> tremendous efforts are continued. </span></div>

<div>All the best,</div>
