OBITUARY from Jo Hautvast : Professor Esté Vorster
On 31 October last year I visited Esté in her house in Potchefstroom. We had, as usual, a lovely discussion and we shared, enjoyed and remembered the many times we met during the past 30 years in friendship and work. Esté was without any doubt the “First Lady of Nutrition in Africa”. She was dedicated to her work and she build up a leading and excellent nutrition department with a highly quality staff. At my visit last year she asked me to make a selfie with her. These days I looked again to this selfie and I could see that she was not well. However she was talking so lively, positive and full of interest that I was not so aware of her illness at that time, a strong woman without any doubt. When we say farewell we embraced and we both were aware that this was the last time we met.
Esté, thank you for all your love and friendship. Jo and Marylou Hautvast
