Tribute Story of Lieutenant Thomas "Jetta" Kethame Boihang. This hero was deployed at "KATHORUS" to stabilise the area during the time of unrest shortly after our newly found democractic government,in 1996.They were on a peacekeeping mission when he met his untimely death while doing the patrol with the army vehicle,when an accident happened which robbed him his life. He was a true gallant,brave,dedicated,disciplined soldier,son,brother,father and friend that our family,country,and his friends ever had,it is unfortunate that he died young before he could even enjoy the fruits of their peacekeeping efforts. People of S.A,in particular of "KATHORUS",must really pay homage to this son of the soil for having contributed to the stability of the political unrest in the area and for them enjoying the peace prevailing in the area as their mission was eventually successful and bore great fruits witnessed today. We,at home (Boihang's family) give him a well derved SALUTE. May his soul rest in peace.
