You brought joy, happiness and laughter to all who met you; you will be sorely missed by everyone.
When a person becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
Loss leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
May the road rise up to meet you and may the wind be always at your back.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
Time may pass and fade away but memories of you will always stay.
Many people come into our lives but only a few leave with their footprints
Robala ka Kgotso Mokoena!

Our deepest condolences to the family at large….what a loss of a tower full of knowledge & wisdom. 😢🙏🏾

In my view, gone too soon sums it all bcos Daddy was still full of the servant leadership in him, beyond retirement. Though I only got to know him for a short time, I’ve taken a lot from him due to his style of preaching & high impact – Heaven has gained a true Angel of a hard worker and he will continue beyond the perly gates – may your gentle soul rest in eternal peace Daddy and our deepest condolences to the family & all affected.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tsiu family during this difficult time. There are days we do not understand WHY.
Why should we experience life this way
Why should we suffer from pain and cry
Why dont the days just go away
There are nights we dont understand WHY
Why are the nights feel so long when we are sad
Why do we need to face tomorrow, get up and try
Why do the nights during these time feel so bad
Remember the days are made by a God who knows
And He filled the days with people who care
Through His love the hole in your hearts will close
And He gave us friends to listen and share
Remember the nights are made by a God who knows the plan
And He is by our side during our darkest hour
Each tear from our eyes , He gathers in His hands
And when the morning comes, He will give us the power.

Dear Ntate Tsiu

At a time such as this it is easy to wallow in the sorrow of our loss. That would indeed be selfish as there was much more to be joyful and thankful for in having been under your spiritual guardianship for so many years. Yours was a life well lived and a purpose fulfilled. Many were introduced to The Father by you, and even more built their Christian foundation solidly through your teachings of the word. You led by example, from the front in the full armour of God.

Thank you for everything. We will miss you as you were father to us all. Robala ka khotso Ntate.

Today a true, guenuine soul is being laid to rest. Dr. Rev Tsiu touched many lives through his words and actions and for that we will forever be grateful for having had the honour to ever be in the presence of such a great and honorable man. Robala ka khotso Ntate Tsiu❤️🙏🏾

I am in awe of your ministry and the legacy you have left behind .To the entire Tsiu clan condolences to you and may God comfort you , Mme MaTsiu may God give you strength to stand and may you find comfort in the holy spirit who is our comforter. One sermon that stands firms and i will forever refer to it is when you preached at my Grandmothers funeral in 2010 about the Anchor who is Christ .We have lost of Father in you and to the family thank you for allowing us to have a father and share his life with you .Forever loved and dearly missed .

Truly we have lost an honorable Servant of the Lord. Moruti touched many lifes as a minister of the word, as a Scholar, as a Media person especially on Leseding FM. I will forever remember the days when I had a privilege in serving in one Siminary Management Committee with him. He will always push for the decisions that favor the students. He acted as a true father

Ntate Moruti, I learned respect, humility and education from your Goodself unaware that you were part of my family, until the late Abuti Thabo Peete told me and again when I was part of Mofutsanyana family as son in law.

Oh but death is a merciless enemy, and when it strikes, life goes haywire.
Ntate Tsiu, as my family got to call him; was a father in the true sense. I’ve known him for years and when he married my late brother Daniel Mbuli to his niece in 1995 he preached a sermon that stuck with me till this day. My brother got sick and in the whole time he was admitted in hospital, about 4 and a half months, him and Mama visited him religiously and were very supportive to us. What a sense of humour, his prayers were always spirit filled. I was still waiting for him to come pay lobola as he used to joke about my lastborn daughter going to be his makoti.
Daddy, ntate Tsiu has rested. Monaheng ngwaneso, your brothers and sister, Mama and the grandchildren; may HOD grant you the comfort and strength that only divinity can afford you.
May God bless you and keep you, may He shine His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Ntate Tsiu was such a great man and such a great example to all of us, I’m so saddened by his passing, pelo di bohloko, but he’s in a better place and my deepest condolences to the Tsiu family, love and light.

Rev Dr Moruti William Tšiu was the coordinator and one of the most important members of the 1989 Sesotho Bible revision project team of the Bible Society of South Africa, which met four times a year at the Le Chateau Guesthouse in Kempton Park to review the 1989 Sesotho Bible. I enjoyed working under his leadership and hand in hand with him. Is untimely death is a great loss to me,
and Bible Translation Department of the Bible Society of South Africa because of the unfinished work he left for us to done. In this regard Paul writes in Philippians 1:21: For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. And to live in the flesh, that is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I do not know. May the soul of Rev. Tsiu rest in eternal peace. My we be comforted with knowledge that death is the conclusion of life here on earth.

Ntate Moruti o robale ka kgotso. Your teachings was one of its kind, the knowledge of the book of the books was amazing. Interpretations of bible out of this world.

Kakapa Robala ka khotso.

May honourable ntate Tsiu’s soul rest in peace.He is resting now with her father God.Condolences to Tsiu family.

WHEN GREAT TREES FALL

“When great trees 🌳 fall,
(…)
and even the elephant slumber after safety.

When great trees 🌳 fall
(…)
their senses eroded beyond fear.

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light,rare,sterile.
(…)
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken

Great souls die and
our reality,bound to
them,takes leave of us.
(…)
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable
ignorance of
dark,coldcaves .

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
(…)
They existed.They existed.
We can be.Be and be
better.For they existed.”

Dear Ntate Tsiu,

I’ve heard a lot about you from a very young age well presented by your cousin brother and sister’s from the Thamae’s family in particular. You’ve been known as a gentle, loving, kind, understanding and down to earth character. As gentle as you are and yet a giant with wealth of skills and knowledge, your legacy here on earth and heaven above is indefinite and shall forever rule and reigns.

Robala ka khotso mokoena 💐

Ntate, it was such an honour to be your colleague. Your contagious laughter still puts a smile on my face.
May you rest peacefully on the chest of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
