His daughter, Kutloano, told mourners that she would dearly miss her father, saying “In 2020, on his 50th birthday he asked me to write a speech for him. In the speech, I wrote ‘the first daughter is a female version of her father’ and I still couldn’t agree more.”
There was a switch of emotions when Moerane's friend Mike Maile shared comical memories of him and Moerane.
