It is with profound sorrow that the Helderberg constituency and Ward 84 in Somerset West note the passing of community leader and stalwart, and long-standing DA figure Jasmine Klink.
A tower of strength in her community and in the greater Helderberg, she was an inspiration, a mother not just to her own children but the entire Garden Village and surrounding areas, offering her unfailing strength, warmth and care.
She organised Christmas parties for children, assisted the elderly and coordinated numerous soup kitchens and events. Nothing was too much trouble for her nor too difficult. She forged her path as a housing activist, providing a safe haven for those in need, served as a guiding light for all who sought her beacon and exemplified the value of ubuntu as a strong leader.
A long-term member of the DA, an executive committee member of the branch and constituency, and a contributor in the region, she assisted wherever possible, supported public representatives and demonstrated true leadership in every sense.
Klink died in the early hours of today (Monday 3 February) surrounded by her family. She leaves her husband, Victor, children Chrizelda, Lizette, Natasha and Jason, eight grandchildren, her brothers and sisters, and a bereft community. The entire Helderberg mourns alongside her friends and family.
