Devoted officer of police dog unit passes away

Botes (55) passed away on Monday, 23 June, following a heart attack.

His wife, Celna Botes, gave a touching tribute to her husband, telling Mossel Bay Advertiser that she met him in Graaff-Reinet 30 years ago.

He was her rock and would always be her soulmate, she said.

Celna said she had been working as a physiotherapist and treated Pierre for a sport injury. The pair were married in 1996.

"Pierre was a silent man. He did not talk a lot, but when animals were involved, he had a big voice," she said.
