His passing represents not only a significant personal loss to those who knew and loved him, but also a profound loss to our broader educational and professional community. Joseph was more than a former student; he was a man of principle, warmth, and quiet influence whose legacy will continue to inspire.

Purpose of Attendance

Our team attended the memorial service to pay final respects and stand in solidarity with Mr. Mnisi’s family, friends, and professional network during this time of mourning.
