It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gert Scheepers, the dedicated owner of Dube Private Lodge, who passed away peacefully yesterday evening, surrounded by his loved ones.
Gert was an exceptional individual who left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone he touched. As a devoted husband, father, and friend, he embodied love, kindness, and generosity.
His unwavering commitment to his family, community, and guests was inspiring, and his legacy will continue to motivate all who knew him.
As the manager and lodge owner, Gert was deeply passionate about providing exceptional service and creating memorable experiences for his guests. His warmth, hospitality, and willingness to go above and beyond reflected his genuine care for others.
He will be remembered not only for his hard work and dedication, but for his compassionate spirit and the way he made everyone feel welcome and valued.
Gert’s loving wife, life as well as business partner, who stood faithfully by his side every day, will continue to run Dube Private Lodge in his honour — carrying forward the vision and values that Gert held so dear.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
May Gert rest in peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire us all to live with love, kindness, and compassion.
A memorial service will be held to celebrate Gert’s life, and details will be shared in due course.
