Members of BMW clubs across South Africa
came in numbers to the funeral of skilled
spinner, Bongani Makhubo (40) of Soshanguve,
Tshwane who after a short illness.
As the cars spun around in circles, spectators
cheered. Then a young woman took off her
panties and began dancing in the middle of the
spinning cars. But not everyone was pleased to
see her waving her underwear in the air.
John Lelaka said, “People are allowed to
celebrate but not in a way that disturbs other
people’s peace.”
The drivers respected the family during the
formal burial ceremony at Soshanguve
Cemetery. After the funeral, they had a spinning
competition. About 300 gusheshe engines roared
and the smell of burning rubber filled the air at
Spin City.
The funeral was attended by spinning clubs from
Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Pretoria.Puff
Selotela, chairman of the Botsotso Social Club,
said, “This is a way of celebrating one of our
own and honouring his love for the game of
spinning.”Spinning is not only a thug sport. We
have attorneys, doctors and businessmen in our
spinning clubs. We all do it for the love of it.”
