It will start at 9:00 AM at the family’s home in Soweto, and will be followed by a procession to Westpark Cemetery, where Zanele will be laid to rest. While the funeral is intended to be a more private affair, reserved for close family and friends, the Ndlovus have arranged for a live stream of the service. This will allow those who cannot attend in person to still be a part of the farewell, reflecting the inclusive spirit that Zanele was known for.
The family’s spokesperson conveyed the Ndlovus’ intention to ensure that Zanele’s funeral and memorial service are not just moments of mourning, but also a celebration of the remarkable person she was. “Zanele was a beacon of hope and positivity.

In keeping with Zanele’s lifelong dedication to helping others, the family has also announced the establishment of the Zanele Ndlovu Memorial Fund. This fund will continue her charitable work, focusing on causes she was passionate about, such as providing educational opportunities for underprivileged children and supporting community development initiatives. Instead of sending flowers, the family is encouraging donations to the fund, allowing Zanele’s legacy of giving to live on. Details on how to contribute to the fund are available on a dedicated website set up by the family.
As the community prepares to say goodbye, the Ndlovu family remains focused on honoring Zanele’s memory in a way that reflects the joy, love, and light she brought into the world.
