“Daniel was loved.” These words, uttered by several Absa employees and people who’ve had interactions with Daniel Mminele during his brief stay at Absa, are usually reserved for memorial services. They often mask deep loss and grief.
Although no one died this time, a sense of loss was visibly the case for Absa staff members who came to lay flowers and drop messages of support and comfort for Mminele at the bank’s head offices on Friday.
