Thousands of mourners from around the province attended the funeral of well-known Limpopo SABC regional general manager Victor “Dynaross” Ravhuanzwo on Saturday.

The funeral was attended by, among others, the SABC Chief Operations Officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale, MEC for Education Dickson Masemola, MEC for Safety and Security Florence Radzilani, MEC for Public Works Thabitha Mohlala and Vhembe Executive Mayor Tshitereke Matibe.

Ravhuanzwo (55) passed away in the Polokwane MediClinic a fortnight ago and was buried in the Lukau graveyard, about 140 km from Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

All the speakers described Ravhuanzwo as a pioneer, a born leader and a man of vision. Premier Cassel Mathale said that the government, SABC officials, community members around Limpopo, family and friends were still shocked about the untimely death of the dedicated, disciplined and charismatic Ravhuanzwo. “We are greatly saddened about the untimely death of Ravhuanzwo. Our province has been robbed of a committed, hard worker and we will miss him," said Mathale.

Mr Motsoeneng said that Ravhuanzwo's family produced a soldier for the country and the public broadcaster. “We lost a great man,” he added. According to him, the SABC has lost one of its pillars, who had always been working hard towards the development of the community.

A daughter of Mr Ravhuanzwo, Ms Portia Ravhuanzwo, said the family had suffered a great loss with the death of their father. "It is painful to lose an intelligent father, but we thank God because he does everything for a reason,” she said.
