Tributes pour in for Cardinal Khoarai
MASERU-CARDINAL Sebastian Koto Khoarai, 91, the first Mosotho to attain the position, died last Saturday in Mazenod after serving the Catholic Church for 65 years.
The church has not revealed the cause of death except saying he was sick and had to be admitted to a hospital for a while.
Reverend Francis Makhetha of the Mofumahali oa Maloti, Ketane, in the Mohale’s Hoek diocese, worked closely with the cardinal.
He described Cardinal Khoarai as a man of God who “was a strong bishop who started the Mohale’s Hoek diocese”.
Reverend Makhetha says the Cardinal’s early years were hard but he had gotten used to the hard work at Mazenod where he facilitated the improvement and facelift of the Regina Mundi, and Ha-Mohasoa.
