TAUNG- The family of Mokae in Ntswanahatshe village, near Dryharts in Taung had to delay the funeral of their family member for two hours after Simane John Mokae’s wife allegedly refused to release his body.

According to our mole, the mourners were left dejected after the wife of the deceased alleged that she is the rightful person to bury her husband. But the Mokae family did not want to hear any of that.

“We arrived earlier at 07:00am, but the body of the deceased was prorogated in Vryburg after the wife of the deceased claimed that she will not release the body for burial.

“The family threatened to call the police for intervention and that’s when she decided to hand over the body” our mole said.

Simane John Mokae’s body allegedly arrived at around 09:00am and was ferried to his finally resting place.

Family members refused to comment as they say, the matter was between two families.
