A messy fight broke out between the wife and sister of South Africa’s famous tombstone designer Lebogang Khitsane at his memorial service over the weekend.
Mr Khitsane died last Thursday from renal failure.
His sister Semati Moedi was interrupted by the widow after she made shocking claims on live TV.
She claimed the deceased died a bitter man after his wife brought a man into their home.
The widow hurled a plastic bottle at Moedi and came up stage to take the microphone from her.
Khitsane was the brain behind Bataung Legacy tombstones renowned across Africa for their flamboyancy.
They were used for the graves of many well-known South African personalities including Joe Mafela, Mandoza, Robbie Malinga, kwaito star Senyaka, soccer player John Shoes Moshoeu and boxer Baby Jake Matlala.
The deceased’s daughter said about her father: “Thank you for your unconditional loud and unwavering love. Thank you for feeling like a sun. You were warm energetic and so comforting. Thank you for your forgiveness.”
Khitsane who once said he wanted to be remembered as “the Steve Jobs of tombstones” will be laid to rest on Tuesday.
