DON’T BE LATE FOR MY FUNERAL

A story about mothers and family 

Director: Diana Keam
Year: 2024
Starring: Margaret Bogopa Matlala
Genre: Documentary

Filmmaker Diana Keam returns to visit Margaret Bogopa Matlala — the woman who helped raise her and became the heart of her family. More than a domestic worker, Margaret’s love grounded not just Diana’s white household, but her own family and entire community.

This uniquely, intimate documentary is a tribute to unconditional love, quiet strength, and chosen family — a reminder that love never dies. People do.
