Sasa Klaas memorial service took place yesterday and her family, friends, and media colleagues came together to remember the life of the Botswana queen of rap. The virtual memorial service was held in Gaborone at Malapo Piazza and it was live on all social media platforms.
Her best friend Nature Inger paid an emotional tribute to her, describing her as a loving personNature had many people reaching for the tissues when she took to the podium and said some powerful words about her friend. She described the immense pain she has been feeling since the departure of Sasa.
“Nothing will ever explain or put into words the immense pain that I feel. I did not know it was possible for a human being to feel this much pain and feel numb at the same time but the pain that I am feeling is evidence that the was once immense love,” she said.Nature Inger said Sasa loved everyone wholeheartedly and the level of how she loved everyone was unmatched, because she tried to emulate her but failed.
“Sasa was so loving and such a best friend to her mom that people often thought they were sisters that was the relationship she had, she was someone that reminded you to live and to love every single day, she was clingy as a friend and call you and be like “excuse me b**** you haven’t told me you love me”
“Sasa would always say that the reason She was so scandalous was because God can already see everything that I do. God already knows me inside and out. All of my rights and all of my wrong and if I am not hiding from God then there’s nobody else that matters enough for me to hide from.”
Her final words touched the hearts of many people when she said Sasa has officially left the room but she will never leave them, “To her friend and family and her classmate, I think it fair for me to say Klaas is officially dismissed but she will never leave us.”
