COMEDIAN and content creator Kagiso Pope Ramoshai was laid to rest on Saturday, 20 April.

The 28-year-old funnyman was buried in his hometown of Mankweng, Limpopo, at the family's Ramoshi Cemetery.

His funeral was attended by Limpopo stars such as King Monada, Kwenisto, Mphoza Mashabela, Matome Rapetsoa, Janisto, Rose Letsoalo, and his girlfriend Pearl Mnisi. 

Pope's brother Tshepo Ramoshai said his younger brother was an amazing human being.

"I was the quiet one at home and he was always loud. He never wanted to miss any opportunity in life. He used to drive big cars and I'd ask him, how do you do it?" he said.

His dad Collen Jeremiah Ramoshai said his son was full of surprises.


"My boy was great and he would always make us laugh at home. He was a true friend to me and a go-getter," he said.

Collen said Pope was stingy but full of love.

Velemina Modiba, Polokwane Municipality Seaker, told Daily Sun they're saddened by the loss of such young talent.
