Man buried in his trusty Mercedes Benz with his hands on the steering wheel

23rd April, 2020

A traditional chief in South Africa in the village of Jozana on the Eastern Cape was buried in his car with his hands on the steering wheel.

Tshekede Pitso, 72, who was a high-ranking member of the United Democratic Movement, collapsed and died while walking towards the car outside his home.

His family said that before his death he had expressed a wish to be buried in his 1980’s E500 Mercedes car.

According to his daughter Sefora Letswaka, he loved the Mercedes Benz E500 so much even though it had broken down.

“About two years ago he bought himself a second hand Mercedes Benz.

"It wasn’t long before it broke down but he still spent much of his time in it outside the house.

“He couldn’t drive it but that was where he was happy and [he] spent much of his time sitting behind the wheel.

"He said when the time came he wanted to be buried in it.

“We listened to him and honored his wish and hope he is happy looking down on us.”
