Natasha Thahane mourns her grandma’s passing shortly after her uncle’s death
Natasha Thahane mourns twice in a week as her uncle and grandmother recently passed away.
Taking to social media, the South African actress shared a video detailing multiple moments with her late gogo.
The star expressed her pain in her emotional note, revealing that her grandmother passed away while they were preparing for her uncle’s funeral.
“It has been an incredibly difficult time for our family. 🕊️ On Sunday, we lost my uncle. Just a few days later, on Wednesday, we lost my grandmother too. That Wednesday, I was sitting with her, braiding my hair. She asked me not to do single braids but straight back cornrows because they’re quicker. I listened, as I always did. Even in that moment, she was still guiding me, still being herself,” she wrote.
“While I was busy helping with the arrangements for my uncle’s funeral, she spoke calmly about what she wanted for her funeral. My hairdresser and I asked her not to say such things, but she continued… She kept asking when my little sister and my cousins were coming back from the car wash. We talked. We laughed. She was FINE! She waited for my cousins, my sister, and for me to finish braiding my hair.
And then everything happened so fast,” the star added.
“She passed away in our hands. Lala Ntombi Endala ❤️ Thank you for the wisdom, the love, and the lessons you gave so freely. In July, we travelled to Thailand, a dream made possible by the Garnier team. What a beautiful time we had. I take peace in knowing that she is now resting. They both did me dirty. It all hasn’t sunk. Lord, please give us strength,” Natasha concluded.
