Tribute
By John Mbunya
Soban Dr. Chuwanga John won the race of life by fearlessly embracing death on the 25th March 2020. This was a troubling occurrence because he attended the SBMC monthly meeting of 11th March, and proceeded to clear his medical duty desk by performing two or more surgeries.
It is said rainbows are a promise of tomorrow. There have been a lot of "tomorrows" that have come and gone. We only wish there could be many "yesterdays" since there is no journey to yesterday.
I don't remember when Dr. Chuwanga ever picked up a quarrel with anyone during his tenure as the President of the SBMC. Living and acting with civility were second nature to him. He was proud to be part of the very tradition of SOBA nexus.
His magnanimity, humility, patience and work ethics gave him all the qualities of missionary education acquired in Sasse College; a man of noble mien, and a humanitarian by nature.
Continue to sleep on… and sing along the celestial hymns of angelic hosts. As Shakespeare says, "the worst is death and death will have his day."
