North West Premier Thandi Modise has expressed shock and is saddened by a media report that a well-known pig farming family from Ventersdorp has lost their loved ones in a tragic crash over the past weekend. The three who died in a head-on collision are to be buried on Saturday.
“We are deeply touched and wish to convey our condolences to Raymond and Sania Wewege of Mazal Boerdery and the Snyman family on their loss and trust that they will find comfort in knowing that the provincial government, the farming community and our diverse communities across the province are with them in their thoughts and prayers during this period of sadness,” Premier Modise.
It is reported that the Wewege family lost their daughter Imrie, her husband SP and mother-in-law Elsa Snyman in an accident that occurred between Modimolle and Vaalwater at around 23h00 on Saturday while they were on their way to a farm in Modimolle. Irmie who was to turn 29 on November 28 is said to have been expecting a son to be born at the end of February next year.
Imrie is survived by her heartbroken parents, sister Ninneth de Klerk and brother Jean. SP and his mother leave behind his four sisters. The funeral for the deceased three will be held at the NG Church in Modimolle at 10h00.
