KZN floods wreak havoc with Deborah Fraser’s burial — Here is when she will be laid to rest

The torrential rain has caused havoc for many in KwaZulu-Natal, delaying Deborah Fraser's burial until Tuesday.

The gospel star died earlier this month surrounded by family after a short illness. A funeral service was held on Saturday.

However, rain prevented the burial.

Deborah's immediate family will gather on Tuesday morning to bury the star at Lala Kahle Cemetery in Hillcrest, west of Durban.

Family spokesperson Busi Shibodze confirmed the delay to TshisaLIVE, saying rain made burying the star difficult.

"It rained so much that the gravesite was affected." she said.

"The undertaker confirmed we can bury her tomorrow [Tuesday] at 10am with just the close family and kids."

Deborah's children were inconsolable after her passing, and told mourners at her funeral service on Saturday that they ran out of time to give her the life she deserved.

“Everyone knew Ma. I'm not going to lie to you, Mom was not OK, especially this year. Death is not something you can get used to. I catch myself sitting in the car alone and realising it is real: Ma is gone,” he said.

“Anyone who was close to my mom's heart knew it was filled with love. Ma, I would like to thank you for teaching me to be humble. I would like to thank you for teaching me not to look down on others. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me and the family.”

Deborah's daughter Aliyah was distraught when speaking of how she lost a mother and best friend. 

“I may have lost a mother but I have gained a very powerful guardian angel. Thank you for everything. There was so much I wanted to still learn from you, but I thank God for what I have learnt already. There was so much I still wanted to do for you.”
