ποΈ MPSD Mourns the Tragic Loss of Keisha Samuels ποΈ
It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that Mitchell's Plain Sub-District (MPSD) mourns the tragic passing of one of our young netball players, Keisha Samuels.
Keisha was a talented and passionate young woman who had a bright future ahead of her. She had dreams, aspirations, and so much life still to live. The senseless loss of such a promising young life to the ongoing gang violence that continues to plague our communities is truly heartbreaking.
No young person should lose their life simply for walking to a local shop. Our children deserve to grow up in safe communities where they can pursue their dreams without fear of becoming victims of senseless violence.
MPSD joins the entire netball fraternity in extending our deepest and most sincere condolences to BLACK FERNS Netball Club , her teammates, coaches, her beloved family, friends, school community, and everyone whose life was touched by Keisha. We pray that God grants you strength, comfort, and peace during this incredibly difficult time.
We also make an urgent appeal to the relevant authorities to intensify efforts to combat the ongoing gang violence and the trigger-happy gunmen who continue to rob our communities of innocent young lives. Our youth are dying, and enough is enough. Every child deserves the opportunity to dream, to achieve, and to live a full life.
Rest in eternal peace, Keisha Samuels. Your smile, your passion for netball, and your memory will forever remain in our hearts.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." β Matthew 5:4 π€
