The mother of Katlego Bereng, Monica Matsie, cried bitterly during the funeral service for her son on Thursday in Bloemfontein. Many other people who attended the funeral for the football player whom police believe was the dummy body used in Thabo Bester’s escape from Mangaung prison on May 3, 2022, also did.
The Bloemfontein Celtics soccer team’s supporters’ group, Siwelele sa Masele, organized the memorial service for Katlego Bereng. Mahube Tumelo in Hamilton Industrial was the venue for the service Bereng’s mother was escorted into the hall by family members as the supporters’ club sang in the background.
About a week ago, Matsie went to the government mortuary to examine her son’s remains when she suddenly became ill and had to be taken to the hospital. Later that week, while visiting family, she was admitted to the hospital once more.
