For certain is death for the born
And certain is birth for the dead;
Therefore over the inevitable
Thou shouldst not grieve. Bhagavad GitaThis memorial website was created to remember our dearest
Joseph Tsubella who was born in
South Africa on

You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Here lies the body of a great man,a man so geat that he made others greater than himself.

I miss you soo much. And wish you were here with me. One of the greatest memories I share with you is when the first time you healed me and called me Khahliso which is the name we share. I don't think you ever knew how much you meant to me but now j get to tell you. I love you soo much and ever since the day you passed on my heart had broken into two. No one can or will ever replace you. I love you Joseph Mahapu Khahliso Tsubella.❤
It is times like this that i am shaken ,the passing away of Bishop Joe has caught me by surprised.it becomes so painful when i think of all the words he said to me when i was leaving for College. i was hoping that he would see me thru my Academic formation and my Spiritual formation. i have lost a Spiritual Father,and Mentor.may his soul rest in peace. to Tsubi,Sei, and Tshidi we are here for you...
Thank you Saddam.
The greatest moment of my life was when you nominated and introduce me to the Arch-Bishop Thabo as his secretary to the Synod.And your secondment of me to serve in the Diocesan Elective Assembly Advisory.
I will always remember you with "Ndi sondela kuwe ndi thandaza"

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. May the good Lord be with you all. We will keep you in our prayers.

God saw Bishop Tsubella getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispired "come to me". Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
The Anglican Men's Fellowship & Evangelism Guild has lost a stalwart, a pillar of strength and the legacy he left will be carried on until the end of times.
We are deeply saddened by the loss, we will cherish the memories of the times we spent together with him.
Our sincere condolences to the family on the loss of Bishop Tsubella and our thoughts and prayers will always be with the family.

The passing on of our beloved Bp. Tsubella has brought many of us anguish and pain. Yet I believe he has left us a legacy of a stable Guild to continue inspiring fellowship and deep commitment to the purpose of evangelism in the church at large.
Take heart and remember Psalm 46v1, to bring us comfort and strength as we face this great loss.
May God bless u, and may our beloved Bishop find rest in the everslating of God.
Kind regards
J. Khanye
