While the burial happened during the early months of the pandemic, COVID restrictions weren't the only thing that made the burial complicated. Funeral Director Thabiso Mantutle said honoring the family's unusual request was difficult. He described the stressful undertaking which involved several challenges: digging an eight-foot-deep hole with an excavator, constructing a ramp to lower the car into the grave, and obtaining permission from authorities, via the Daily Mail.

A fellow politician described the burial in a tribute to Pitso on his Facebook page saying Pitso was flamboyant even in death and that it was no surprise the journey to his final resting place would be inside his favorite ride.
