Const Senoge remembered for smile and bubbly character
The parents of Const Boipelo Senoge, one of three police officers who were found dead in the Hennops River, have bid their final farewell, quoting Psalm 91:1 to honour their daughter's memory.
'You were the light in our lives. You brought laughter, your smile brought light. You will always remain in our hearts. Go and fly like an eagle, may the heavenly angels be with you at the feet of the Lord,' said her parents in a letter.
On Thursday, Senoge's family, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate her life, remembering her for her light smile and bubbly character.
Senoge is one of three constables whose bodies were retrieved from the Hennops River in Centurion last week after they went missing while travelling to Limpopo for their deployment. They were last seen on April 23 at the Engen garage near the Grasmere toll plaza on the N1.
Born on May 4 2000, Senoge was the third born to Seleke and Jane Senoge.
According to her obituary, she attended Karabelo Primary School until grade 7. Then she continued to grade 12 at Puseletso High School. She then attended Glenn College to focus on agriculture, later opting to study online at Unisa while employed at Bisistro for two years before becoming a member of the SAPS in 2023.
