A nun who died trying to help patients when a fire broke out at a care centre last weekend will be buried Tuesday.


The requiem mass for Sr Anne Theole, the novice mistress of the Nardini sisters, will be celebrated at 10.30 am, April 10, at Inkhamana Abbey, Vryheid in Kwa Zulu Natal.

Sr Anne died trying to rescue patients at the Duduza Care Centre at the Maria Ratschitz Mission during a fire on Sunday night.

The devastating fire at midnight destroyed the Duduza Hospice. Sr Anne assisted moving bedridden patients out of the building. She insisted on going back to assist the patients on the first floor but the fire moved too quickly for her to get out.

That is the Easter message of the Catholic bishops of Zimbabwe, where an economic meltdown has reduced many people to hopelessness as President Robert Mugabe continues his iron rule that has shocked the world in recent weeks.

Inflation has surpassed 1,600 per cent, the highest in the world, and eight in every ten Zimbabweans have no meaningful source of income.
