He was born 1914 and died at the age of 96 years. He died of Tuberculosis, as a result of sleeping out in the cold, yet the environment was not conducive at all.
Despite going to hospital, his road to recovery was unpredictable, since most of the time he had no food and he would go hungry. This made him to avoid swallowing medicine on an empty stomach.
Later, he died and his body was taken to the city mortuary. We tried to collect money to cater for his funeral costs but it was not enough. This forced us to be going along the road side to beg for money from the motorists but the few notes and shillings we managed to raise was not yet enough.
After a period of one month and a half, we had raised enough money to buy the coffin and also to clear the mortuary bill. We put the coffin in the wagon and went to the chosen plot to lay his body, for his soul to rest in peace.
A peaceful send off it was!
