Jafta's Funeral Contribution

Jafta Witbooi, fondly known as Jaffie, passed away suddenly last Friday the 2nd of May. Jaffie was a well known personality in Stellenbosch. A man with a soft nature and enduring smile, he was always on hand to help those around him. He worked for over ten years helping me personally unpack and pack up my coffee shop. I remember a smiling Jaffie appearing most mornings out of the darkness to offer his services. Come rain or shine, the coffee shop was always ready on time for my regulars to enjoy their first cup of the day.

Jaffie's family has now contacted me to ask for contributions for his funeral. The message from his sister reads as follows: “..we struggel a little with flowers🌻any flowers and suger and tea if u can help us pls.”

So even if you skip your coffee for today and instead contribute that amount to this worthy cause, it would greatly be appreciated especially by his loved ones.

Jaffie was one of the true characters of our town. His smile will fondly and lovingly be...
