The late Otjiwarongo businessman and philanthropist, Theo Borstlap, will be buried in Otjiwarongo next Friday, June 23.

The memorial service will be held at Paresis Stadium at 10:00, while the burial service will be at the Otjiwarongo cemetery later in the afternoon.

Bostlap was the owner of the SuperSpar store and other reputable businesses in Otjiwarongo. 

Early last month, he sustained 60% burn wounds in an explosion after attempting to exterminate termite nests at his farm on the outskirts of the town.

According to information, Bortslap used combustible liquids, which exploded and caused his clothes, grass, and surrounding bushes to catch fire.

Borstlap died last week at the age of 68.
