It took me quite a while too get to Jane Furse on friday. I spent around 2 hours waiting in a taxi untill it became full. I then stopped half way to Jane Furse to buy flowers, you would not believe how hard it is to find flowers away form the city.
The funeral for Modzi's mother was on Saturday. The funeral service started at 6am. We arrived at Modzis house around 6:15, the family had set up a tent out the front of her house and there was already around 200 people. The ceremony at Modzis house went for around 3 hours their was no priest as the mother was part of the ZCC which is the Zionist Christian Church. A few people gave speeches and there was alot of singing. The group then went to the cemetry which took around 1 hour to get too. Another ceremoney occured at the cemetry this time only for around 2 hours. Although I couldnt understand anything anyone said the funeral was very heartfelt, they also had another ceremony on Sunday where they killed a cow and ate its head but that wasnt really my thing.
I went back to the school on Sunday but their was no students left (they all finsihed on the 30th of November)
At the moment I am back in Joburg as im flying to Windhoek tomorrow :)
