Bishop Robert Kasaro delivered a heartfelt tribute to his late wife, Princess Lindiwe Fortunate Dlamini, at her memorial service held at Jesus Calls Worship Centre in Matsapha, Eswatini. He described her as his intercessor, best friend, and a strong pillar behind his ministry. Kasaro emphasized that Princess Lindiwe's contribution to his life and ministry went beyond being his wife, highlighting her significant role in his spiritual journey.
According to Kasaro, Princess Lindiwe was deeply committed to prayer and would spend hours praying for him, their children, the church, and the nation. He recalled how she would insist on maintaining the family's prayer routine, even after returning home tired from work. Her dedication to prayer was central to her life, and Kasaro noted that her passing had left a significant gap in the realm of prayer.
Kasaro also highlighted Princess Lindiwe's influence on his ministry, where she encouraged him to grow and remain focused on his calling. He noted that she never sought attention in church and would instead tell him that her role was to support him. Her commitment to the presence of God in ministry was evident, as she would often question whether ministers had prayed when she felt there was no anointing in their ministry.
Beyond her spiritual contributions, Kasaro described Princess Lindiwe as a devoted wife and mother who cared deeply for her family. He recalled how she raised their three children well and intentionally taught them to respect their father. Her kindness extended to visitors, as she would ensure that anyone who visited their home had eaten.
Kasaro reflected on the final days of Princess Lindiwe's life, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to sit beside her hospital bed and hold her hand. He described feeling lonely and broken after her passing, adding that life without her would never be the same. Despite the pain, Kasaro remained grateful to God for the years they shared.
The bishop also remembered the companionship they shared, including their travels across different countries for ministry, laughter, and life's joys. He noted that Princess Lindiwe preferred to be identified by her name rather than her royal title when travelling with him for ministry. Her humility and focus on supporting her husband and family were hallmarks of her character.
In conclusion, Kasaro addressed his late wife as his beloved wife, best friend, and intercessor, expressing his hope to see her again. The memorial service was a testament to the impact Princess Lindiwe had on those around her, particularly her husband and family. Her legacy will continue to inspire and influence those who knew her.
