Members
of BMW clubs across South Africa came in numbers to the funeral of
skilled spinner, Bongani Makhubo (40) of Soshanguve, Tshwane....
As the cars spun around in circles, spectators cheered.Then a young woman took off her pánties and began dancing in the middle of the spinning cars.But not everyone was pleased to see her waving her underweár
in the air.John Lelaka said: "People are allowed to celebrate but not
in a way that disturbs other people's peace."Bongani died last week
after a short illness.
The
drivers respected the family during the formal burial ceremony at
Soshanguve Cemetery.After the funeral, they had a spinning
competition.About 300 gusheshe engines roared and the smell of burning
rubber filled the air at Spin City.
The
funeral was attended by spinning clubs from Mpumalanga, Limpopo and
Pretoria.Puff Selotela, chairman of the Botsotso Social Club, told Daily
Sun: "This is a way of celebrating one of our own and honouring his
love for the game of spinning."Spinning is not only a thug sport. We
have attorneys, doctors and businessmen in our spinning clubs.
"We
all do it for the love of it."Reikhutise Malala, a longtime friend of
Bongani, said in his farewell message: "You taught me how to be humble
and inspired me to venture into business. I will remember you for your
charisma, bravery and passion. "It is sad when someone dies and you
never have the chance to tell them the impact they made on your life."I
guess life is too short and we all need to live while we can."
