Description: A wise author once said: The reason why the cemetery is the wealthiest place on earth is because of people who had great dreams and vision that were never fulfilled because they failed to implement the principle of goal-setting. Therefore, they died with their potential.” The same will surely not be whispered someday about 73 year old grandmother Freda Phenethi of Dobsonville in Soweto.
