Robala ka kgotso ngwana wa bo rena... Sakarea Makgapha was the epitome of desire and ambition. The Ramokgonami born lad completed his journalism programme at Limkokwing UCT and he landed at the Gazette newspaper offices some few years back and immediately hit the ground running as an intern. It did not take him three months to convince management that he had what it takes to further the objectives of the Gazette and those of the media industry. I have had the priviledge of working with him at his formative stages and I can safely say his inquinsitive nature catapulted him rapidly in the profession. He carried the weight of The Gazette after myself, Mr Khonani Ontebetse and Mr Victor Baatweng had left to join Weekend Post. I was not surprised when I got to know that he was now pursuing a law degree with UNISA. This was after he parted ways with Gazette. Sakarea or Zakes was a self-driven individual, who hardly respected limits, for in most cases they are just social constructs or they are mere man-made barriers. Sunday Standard and the media fraternity have lost a real foot soldier, a man of zeal indeed. Death has robbed us, he was still young and full of energy! Condolences to his family and friends...I am still trying to come to terms with this loss...
