Although it is too difficult to express the pain and sadness one feels however I am very encouraged by many comments on O. Bolaji tribute to Flaxman Qoopane. Flaxman Qoopane was a true warrior of grassroots literature; I am very pleased to know him personally, converse and to read his books is again another enchanting thing to remember-great man indeed.

It is legendary, from his youth, his days in exile, and back at home. He even started a wonderful world class literary gallery. Such a man is so rare that we can use tbe word unique to describe him. It is also agreed by all that he should be celebrated, his legacy made somewhat permanent.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770653181679709250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308167042306621283.post-53618728224248126622017-11-23T08:59:02.185-08:002017-11-23T08:59:02.185-08:00Thank you for this 'Tribute' article Malom...Thank you for this 'Tribute' article Malome. <br />Hoping his wife and kids wil find comfort and indeed SA and the continent. <br />Will remember his flamboyant laughter and loudness.
