MOTORING NEWS - During a moving ceremony at LifeConnect in George on Saturday 9 January, heart-broken family members, friends and colleagues said goodbye to an icon of the local motoring industry, Raymond Botha.
Botha, the dealer principal of Lynn Schroeder BMW in George, passed away at the age of 64 on Saturday 19 December due to Covid-19 complications. Two of his colleagues at Lynn Schroeder, Stanley Williams and John Baloyi, also passed away after a number of employees at their workplace contracted the virus.
His wife Rose, whom Botha adored, was admitted to Mediclinic with Covid-19 a week after her husband was taken ill, and put on oxygen in high-care, but has since been discharged.
