Zaida Essop Patel, “To my dearest friend, my sister Shaz, I am at a loss for words.
We held on and we hoped and we prayed, and never thought it would come to this… But Allah surely knows best.
Tonight, Jannah shines even brighter because of you my dear friend, everyone knows you lit up every room with your presence.
May Allah (SWT) grant ease to your loved ones and may only the highest abode in Jannah be reserved for your special soul.
You were undoubtedly the most sincere, kindhearted and heartwarming person that I’ve ever known.
I miss you so much already.
You will forever live on in the hearts of all those who knew and loved you. You were truly one in a million and you will forever be irreplaceable…”
Marilyn Baktawar, friend, “Our dearest sister Shaz, your presence in all our lives will be sorely missed. You were too good for this earth. Your kindness, generosity, humility, love and humourous personality will forever be etched in our memories. You left us way too early, but we know that you are soaring with the angels. Rest in peace! Love you so much.”
Loredana Fernandes, friend, “Shazia: A beautiful, kind and gentle woman. Always spreading the love with everyone around. You made such an impression on us all and we thank you for that! May God grant you eternal rest. Love you forever.”
Melanie Pillay, friend, “Shaz, if I knew I wouldn’t see you again, I would have laughed even louder with you, danced on the tables instead of around the tables and hugged you even tighter, my friend. Rest easy my dear friend, you will be sorely missed.”
Merle Palan, (Choprop agent) “It is with great sadness and heartfelt emotions I write about a prominent, good and great leader and friend. Shazia was never too busy to engage with her agents, employees and friends at all levels. As prominent as she was, she always involved herself when the need arose.
Shazia is an epitome of a strong, powerful woman with a beautiful, kind, and loving soul, who always displayed her loving heart and was the queen of life of every occasion. Her knowledgeable experiences proved she was both beauty and brains together. Her business acumen and ethics were unquestionable. Shazia always took a call, no matter the time of day and gave assistance and expert advice when needed the most.
Her empathy astonished me when I was not well, her concern in following up on my well-being both late at night and in the early hours of the morning showcased her humility and love. Shazia will be missed immensely, though her knowledge, her characteristics, personality and friendships will be remembered and live on for ever.”
