His Bombaba Ward family, led by area MCA Beatrice Makwabe, mourned his untimely death, describing him as a pillar of development in the community.
They decried that his life was cut short at a prime age and prayed for his positive influence to remain a lasting fragrance with his family.
“Resilience is essential in our lives. We cannot mourn our misfortunes forever because life has to continue; that is why we need informed community services,” he said.
He thanked Nyumba Kumi groups, clan elders, and the Church for their voluntary communal services.
He appealed to the government for financial assistance to motivate them to continue their commendable work.
He further asked the government to facilitate the education of local communities to help them cope with any predicament that may befall them.
He emphasized the need for guidance and counselling when families face sudden tragedies such as death, floods, drought, or fire, as these incidents leave lasting traumatic effects on victims.
